How to Make an Instagram Story Video Online
Create Instagram Story Videos with Music Online
Add Music to an Instagram Story
Upload your own audio or choose a track from Flixier’s stock library. Trim the song to fit your Story, adjust its volume, and add fades so the music starts and ends naturally.
Use the Right Story Size and Length
Set your project to a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio and use a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. Instagram displays Story videos up to 60 seconds as one clip. You can use the same vertical footage in the Instagram Reel maker.
Add Text, Stickers, and Transitions
Add titles, calls to action, animated stickers, and transitions that match the style of your Story. Keep important elements away from the top and bottom edges, where Instagram’s interface may cover them. You can also add captions to Instagram videos and even translate them.
Turn a Longer Video Into Story Clips
Cut a longer recording into shorter vertical clips and arrange each section on the timeline. This lets you turn an interview, tutorial, event video, or product demonstration into a sequence of Story videos without editing each section in a separate project.
Everything you need to create
and finish AI videos
Everything You Need to Finish Your Insta Story
Start With a Template or Your Own Media
Choose an Instagram Story template or start with your own photos and videos. Replace the sample content, change the text and colors, and adjust the layout instead of building every Story from an empty project.
Find Music or Generate Visuals in Flixier
Choose music, video clips, and images from the stock library, upload your own, or generate new ones with AI. Arrange everything on the timeline and adjust the timing, framing, and volume to fit your Story.
Add Captions and Voiceovers
Generate subtitles for spoken audio, record your own voice, or create a voiceover from text. Customize the captions and choose when they appear so the Story remains understandable with or without sound.
Keep Your Stories on Brand
Add your logo, fonts, colors, and other brand elements, then save them to your Brand Kit for future projects. Share a Flixier Review Link for time-stamped feedback from your collaborators before downloading or publishing the finished version.

Still have questions?
We got you!
How long can an Instagram Story video be?
An Instagram Story video can be up to 60 seconds long and appear as one continuous clip. If your recording is longer, cut it into shorter sections on the Flixier timeline and export the clips as a sequence of Stories.
What size is an Instagram Story?
The recommended Instagram Story size is 1080 by 1920 pixels, with a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio. Keep text, captions, logos, and other important elements away from the top and bottom edges so Instagram’s interface does not cover them.
How do I add music to an Instagram Story video?
Upload your video and add an audio file from your device or choose music from Flixier’s stock library. Place the track beneath the video on the timeline, trim it to the right length, and adjust its volume or fades before exporting.
Can I turn a long video into Stories?
Yes, you can import the complete video, change the project to a vertical 9:16 layout, and divide the recording into shorter sections. Reframe each clip, add captions or music, and export the sections you want to share as Instagram Stories.
Do I need the Instagram app?
You do not need the Instagram app to create or edit your Story. Flixier works in your browser, where you can arrange the footage, add music, and export the finished video. You can then upload it to Instagram from your preferred device.
