Images are an excellent way to share your brand’s visual story. A picture is better than plain words to explain about your product. And a short video clip is the best to tell your business story. Here is the solution: Instagram provides both image and video advertising features. Instagram has its own video format, and you can share video clips as well as share photos on other social media platforms.

When you want to take a photo on Instagram, you will see a movie camera icon. After tapping that icon you can record a 15 seconds clip with your mobile camera. Instagram also provides 13 filters that are specially built for videos, so you will be able to share creative and beautiful visuals on Instagram. You can select the best scene of the video to create a cover page of that clip to make that more attractive.
