Hey, I know there was a thread about this some where on here a couple weeks ago and thats what made me aware to the fact that you could even do this. I tried to do it myself with some video from a concert I went to that I put together but I couldnt quite figure it out. I read up on it through google searches but im still struggling. Can any one help me out?

TL;DR: Tell me how to do it...
 
You just export your video as a square, i do 720x720

and it cant be longer than 15 secs.

I put it in my dropbox folder

and then open instagram

and select the gallery button

and choose drop box and click the file.
 
I email my self the clip(s) and then get them from my gallery. If this doesnt work download a video converter app to make the video format good for instagram
 
correct me if im wrong, but I dont think you can upload videos from your gallery yet on Android? can you?
 
I just connect my phone directly to my computer as a mass storage device and then transfer the file into DCIM on the phone. It should then reside in the gallery on your phone.
 
I cant figure out for the life of me how to export this shit in a square...? Can anyone give me a hand with this?

 
If you're using Adobe Prem. or FCP7, you should be able to just set it to export as a 720/720 square under export settings/prefs. You might want to change the aspect ratio of the entire project before exporting. Not sure if it will stretch or crop or scale into a square if you don't.
 
I tried changing that during the export process but it wouldnt allow me to change it to anything other than the standard 1080, 720 etc even when in custom.
 
Your sequence settings should be 720x720. Then when you export if you match settings or do custom settings it should work just fine. Keep messing around with it
 
Im trying to do that but for some reason its giving me very limited options. Im actually using FCPX so that may make some sort of difference...??

I actually feel really fucking stupid right now that I cant figure this out for the life of me, I dont know if im int he wrong place completely but this is the most frustating thing ive ever tried to do.

Here is a screenshot of where im trying to change it to 720x720

1. Download Quicktime Player 72. Export your video from final cut in It's default settings.

3. Open your video with Quicktime Player 7: Go File, export, choose Movie to MPEG- 4 in the drop down menu, then click options, choose the video format H.264 and change the dimensions to 720 x 720, click ok, click save.

You have a square video!

Now use dropbox to get it to your phone.
 
Got it to work but it just destroyed the quality of my video. Like to the point where you can't tell what anything is.
