Download These Free Instagram Export Presets for Premiere Pro

Getting videos exported from Premiere Pro and uploaded to Instagram is not the most straight forward process. To help with this, I’ve created three export presets for you to use. These include Landscape, Square, and Vertical aspect ratios. To install and use the presets, follow the steps below.

Download and Install

• Step 1 - Download Export Preset Files at the link HERE.
• Step 2 - Open Adobe Premiere Pro and launch the Export Settings dialogue box.
• Step 3 - Change the Encoding Format to H.264.
• Step 4 - Click on the Import Presets button, select the preset and save.
• Step 5 - Repeat Step 4 for each preset.

Upload to Instagram

Once you have your videos exported, you’ll need to get your files to your mobile device. To do this, transfer the files via Google Drive, Dropbox, or Apple Airdrop. Personally, I upload my files via Google Drive. Once my files are exported, I upload them to Drive from my desktop. Then I select my file via the Google Drive app and select Send a Copy, which allows me to share directly to Instagram.
