Instagram Video Templates to Customize for Your Feed
Instagram’s influence has been growing at a steady rate. More and more customers say they’ve been convinced to buy based on ads they saw on Instagram. Luckily, creating your own Instagram video content doesn’t have to take up too much time. Take a look at how you can create attention-grabbing videos for Instagram using Animoto’s video templates.
10 Instagram template examples
Animoto’s designers have made dozens of templates built to succeed on Instagram. Any of our templates can be easily personalized with your own images, text, logo, and brand colors. Here are a few of our favorites:
Product catalog
Let images or video clips of your products in action convince viewers to buy. Then boost sales by including a promo at the beginning of your video.

Drag and drop images into your Instagram template
Upload your own images right into Animoto. Then drag and drop your photos or video clips into your video. You can also rearrange the order in which images appear, include additional images, or delete any segment of the video.
Include stock images in your Instagram video
If you’re looking for a couple extra photos or video clips for your video, check out our Getty Images library. It’s got more than a million images and video clips that are included as part of your Animoto account.
Add in your brand colors and logo
Match the colors in your video to your logo or a seasonal campaign color in just a few clicks. Then upload your logo at the end of your video or include it as a watermark in the corner of your video.
Adjust your video’s text
Tell the story of your brand or product. Adjust text to fit your specific promo or delete what you don’t need. You can also change your text’s font, color, size, and position to create the look you want.
Pick a song
Animoto offers a wide variety of commercially licensed songs as part of your account. Select songs by genre, use case, mood, and more. Once you’ve found a song you like, you can trim the start or end time or raise or lower the song’s volume. You can also upload your own licensed music, if you prefer.
Using Instagram Stories templates
We also have templates designed just for Instagram Stories in the Animoto: Social Video Editor app. Like our web app, videos created with our iOS app can be customized to fit your needs. You can read more about our app here.
