Instagram feed post video size
An Instagram feed post video should be 1080×1350 px (4:5) or 1080×1080 px (1:1) or 1080×1920 px (9:16). Keep text and logos 60 px from the top, 60 px from the bottom, 70 px from the left and 70 px from the right; that leaves 79.3% of the frame open for text.

Tips for Instagram feed post
- Put the main message in the first frame: a scrolling viewer should read it in half a second.
- The video must make sense with the sound off; music and effects should support the message, not carry it.
- Keep text in the middle of the safe box; feed and profile-grid previews crop the edges.
- Choose the cover frame yourself: a big, readable headline in your brand color.
