how to convert your youtube video into a square video so it looks like this on Instagram,
you'll be giving your Instagram viewers a preview of the full video on youtube. Step
1, select the youtube video that you wish to promote. Here's a video file, of a
live stream I did a couple of weeks ago. Step 2. A dd the video file to the timeline in
your video editing software. Here you can see you've got the video file added to my
timeline. Step 3, select the snippet from your video file. Here's my whole video file,
which is over 44 minutes long, so just want to choose a snippet, so I'm going to remove
the majority of it. Here's the beginning. Here's the end. Now I've just created a snippet
that I want to use for my Instagram video. Step 4, create a new document. I'm going to
go to file... new. I'm doing this in screenflow. Click new document, and from the dropdown
I just select Instagram If you are using different video editing software. Just choose width,
64 0 pixels by height, 64 0 pixels and timeline frame rate, 30 frames per second. Now I'm
going to create the document that's a square format for Instagram.
Step 5, copy the video snippet, so I'm just going to highlight it all. On the Mac, I do
Command+C . I go to my new document and paste it into the document. As you can see, it's
not formatted correctly for the square video. Step 6, you want to format it for square video,
so I just highlight it all and I've got the top here and scale it to fit into the window.
Step 7, add some text to the top and bottom of your video. In this case I've just used
the image at the top and added some text at the bottom. If I go further on the video...here
is an image on my slide and I've added the title of my video to the top and then a snippet
at the bottom. So if you have a talking head video, you're talking head video would be
in the middle.

your channel. So I've got youtube.com/isitebuild/ videos, which takes people to all the videos

fastest and export it to my desktop. Here's the file. Step nine transfer for the video
