How to Create VIDEO + PHOTO Collage Carousels for Instagram
Before you begin creating your Instagram Carousel post combining videos and photos, it's essential to plan and design your collage in a way that seamlessly integrates both elements. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of using Photoshop and Premiere Pro to create an intricate and visually engaging collage for your Carousel post.
To start, open Photoshop and create a canvas with the desired dimensions for your Carousel layout. Design your collage by leaving blank spaces where you want to insert video elements. This planning will ensure that the videos blend smoothly with the photos in your collage. Additionally, for elements that require blending modes, such as tape in this example, save them separately to apply blending modes effectively.
Next, save each section of your collage as separate PSD documents corresponding to the number of slides you want in your Carousel post. Import these PSD files into Premiere Pro, where you can add your videos and adjust cropping as needed. Loop the videos to create a continuous playback effect and add music for an engaging user experience.
For elements that require blending modes, like the tape in the example, layer them over the base image in Premiere Pro and apply the blending mode to ensure proper integration with the video content. Once you have all sections of your Carousel post ready, export them as video files using the appropriate settings.
Upload the exported videos in the planned order on Instagram to create your Video + Photo Collage Carousel post. Experiment with different design elements and blending modes to make your collage stand out and engage your audience effectively.
