Instagram Stories are succeeding all over the world. And it was the most astute movement of Facebook when it decided to copy it to the dying Snapchat. Now it is Instagram that welcomes all kinds of users, millennials or not, collecting ephemeral photos and videos that disappear after spending 24 hours published. All this with animated stickers, labels and now even GIFs. But do the videos continue to be cut due to their short duration? Well, there is a formula for to record a long-lasting video and publish it through different storiesSo you won't have to summarize or lose any of the content you record.
This can be achieved through a simple application called Story Cutter for Instagram It is not the best on the market, but it is valid for carry out this task. Of course, the only requirement is that, to avoid compatibility problems, it is convenient to record the long video directly through the application itself. Something that may limit things when creating the content. Other than that, it does its job as it should.
Story Cutter for Instagram can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store for Android terminals. It abuses the , a bit, but it can be avoided by pressing the back button. Once it is installed in the terminal, all you have to do is start it and click on the Record button, with which the terminal's camera is activated to start recording the video.We can use the front or rear camera, and take advantage of any virtue that the default camera application of our mobile has. We press the record button and that's it, we can go from 15 to 30 seconds without problems. The app will take care of everything afterward.
Once we cut the recording, Story Cutter for Instagram takes care of the dirty work. That is why we may have to wait a few seconds, depending on the duration of the video. And it is that, automatically, it is in charge of breaking up the entire long video, cutting it into pieces of 10 seconds maximum. Enough to ensure that the content is seen in its entirety , from beginning to end, through the stories that are necessary.
Of course, the next step is to go to Instagram, go through the Instagram Stories section and swipe up from the bottom to access the gallerybefore taking a photo or video.Here we will find the fragments of the originally recorded long video in order. So all that remains is to publish, one by one, all these 10-second video clips.
When publishing these video fragments, no Instagram Stories functionalities are lost. It is still possible to draw on them, add stickers, add GIF animations, and anchor any of these elements to any point in the video. Everything as if the video had been recorded directly with Instagram. Thus, all that remains is to publish it and wait for the reactions of the followers.
Precautions to consider
As we say, Story Cutter for Instagram is not the best application created. In our experience we have encountered some difficulties such as not being able to choose previously recorded videos from the gallery. Although it is possible that it is a specific incompatibility and is not a problem for all users.The negative point is that it forces us, if we want to avoid problems, to record directly with the application
Another point that we miss is not being able to regulate the duration of the fragments it creates. Something that can transform a video into too many stories, abusing the patience of our followers. So it is better to use this application and this feature with some measure, only in fully scheduled situations if we do not want to miss any content to post on Instagram.
