![]() You'll just need to switch back and forth between your apps to copy + paste. I use Evernote for that kind of thing, but anywhere you can save blocks of text will work. Also, make sure whatever copy you are including with each video is saved on your phone as well. Make sure you have all of your exported videos transferred and saved onto your phone. But you are a marketer, so THIS IS YOUR SUPER BOWL. It’s the same feeling an astronaut gets before blast-off, or a prizefighter gets before stepping into the ring. Take a deep breath and don’t let the nerves get to you. ![]() PART 3: POSTING YOUR 3X3 INSTAGRAM VIDEO GRID This is it, your big moment. Again, make sure you use the same numbering format! Bonus points if you include some sort of call-to-action or promo code at the end of each video. Since its Instagram it needs to be less than a minute long. Add your video content to each timeline (after the still image, of course).That’s short enough that the viewer won’t really see it, but long enough that Instagram will be able to pick it up for a cover frame. Shorten the duration of the images to 10 frames (see screenshot below). Now you’re going to drop your grid images into each corresponding timeline.(Grid Clip#1, Grid Clip#2, Grid Clip#3, etc.) Number them with a similar format to the images you created in Photoshop. Set up 9 different timelines, all of them with 1900x1900 dimensions.I use Adobe Premiere Pro but whatever you use will work. This is the part where you’ll put that together. PART 2: CREATING YOUR VIDEOS I’m assuming because you are reading this you're an awesome marketer, and so you probably have a lot of video content to support whatever product or campaign you are launching. The image above is one of my cheat sheets. This will be your cheat-sheet for when it’s time to post. Print out a screenshot of the full-sized grid and use a sharpie to write the numbers in the corners of each block. Got all the squares saved and ready to go? Great.Use the exact same numbering order I used, (bottom right is #1, bottom middle is #2, bottom left is #3, etc.) More on that later, but for now just save each of your squares as something like GridSquare#1.jpg, GridSquare#2.jpg, etc. Obviously don’t add them in your actual images. I’m pointing them out though because naming each grid image is REALLY important. See the numbers in each corner of each square of the grid? Those are shown for your reference. ![]() Next you’ll select and copy each square of the grid into a new, separate 1900x1900 image.See the screenshot above on what the guides should look like. Set both horizontal and vertical guides at 1900 pixels and 3800 pixels. Multiply that by 3, as the grid is 3x3, and you get 5700x5700.) I like to use 5700 though because the best resolution you can get on Instagram is 1900x1900. (It can be smaller than this, just as long as it’s a square. Set up a new image with dimensions of 5700 pixels x 5700 pixels.I’ve picked a random product shot for demonstration purposes. Once you have your image picked out, head on over to Photoshop. You’ll need a big image, a still from your videos won’t work, it will be too small, even when stretched. ![]() There are three parts to the process, and I’ll break them down one at a time. A bank account for the instant raise your boss will give you after you pull off such a cool product launch.A desire to do innovative stuff on Instagram.9 different videos (or short clips of some sort that will serve as your video content).A large image that will serve as your grid image.Quick disclaimer: before you move ahead, you or somebody on your team will need the following: The actual content of each video in the grid was an interesting clip or moment from the episode, with a call-to-action at the end that directed people to watch the full length piece on Youtube. I’ve done this a number of times and it’s always turned out great. Most notably, I've used a 3x3 video grid to promote a new episode of our web series, MUTANT ON A MISSION. I’ll walk you through it in this step-by-step, easy to follow guide. It’s very rare, and for good reason: it’s complicated to pull off. This is it! This is what you’ve been waiting for! The holy grail of Instagram grids! The ultimate marketing tool for campaign or product launches! I present to you the 3x3 VIDEO GRID. ![]()
