Use clips you own if they clearly show the steps; a close shot of each knot is more useful than unrelated stock video. Why do my captions cover the scarf? Move them into empty space and preview the whole frame, including the area used by Instagram controls. Can I use any song? Check the music license for your account and intended use, especially if the video promotes a business. ## Next guides [Edit a podcast with AI](https://agentrerank.com/how-to/edit-a-podcast)[Write social media posts with AI](https://agentrerank.com/how-to/write-social-media-posts)[Turn a blog into a video with AI](https://agentrerank.com/how-to/turn-a-blog-into-a-video) Report a problem / Flag outdated priceReport a problemFlag outdated priceSend report Did this work?YesPartlyI'm stuck What got in your way?Wrong planCan't find the featureOutput not usableDoesn't work on my deviceSend feedback ## Keep going [Also popularEdit a podcast](https://agentrerank.com/t/edit-a-podcast)[Also popularTurn a blog into a video](https://agentrerank.com/t/turn-a-blog-into-a-video)[Also popularWrite social media posts](https://agentrerank.com/t/write-social-media-posts)[Also popularExplain a medical term](https://agentrerank.com/t/explain-a-medical-term)[Also popularMake a flyer](https://agentrerank.com/t/make-a-flyer)[Also popularImprove my LinkedIn profile](https://agentrerank.com/t/improve-my-linkedin-profile) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","name":"Agent Rerank","@id":"https://agentrerank.com/#organization","url":"https://agentrerank.com","founder":{"@id":"https://agentrerank.com/about#ashley-ansons"},"logo":"https://agentrerank.com/brand/mark.svg","contactPoint":{"@type":"ContactPoint","email":"founder@agentrerank.com","contactType":"customer support"}},{"@type":"WebSite","name":"Agent Rerank","@id":"https://agentrerank.com/#website","url":"https://agentrerank.com"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://agentrerank.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"How-to guides","item":"https://agentrerank.com/how-to"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"How to make a video for Instagram with AI","item":"https://agentrerank.com/how-to/make-a-video-for-instagram"}]},{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need to film new footage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Use clips you own if they clearly show the steps; a close shot of each knot is more useful than unrelated stock video."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why do my captions cover the scarf?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Move them into empty space and preview the whole frame, including the area used by Instagram controls."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I use any song?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Check the music license for your account and intended use, especially if the video promotes a business."}}]},{"@type":"HowTo","name":"How to make a video for Instagram with AI","description":"You have clips of a scarf but need a short video people can follow on a phone.
