  1. Since Instagrtam doesn’t support adding videos on top of ‘New post’ inside story, but supports GIF and stickers, we need to convert our media with transition to GIF. You could choose any tool you want for this. Here are some tested and working web apps:
    1. https://hnet.com/video-to-gif
    2. https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif
      3. Instagram have some limits for GIF file size, so maybe you should experiment with GIF export settings. Some good defaults for settings:
    3. Size 300x300
    4. Frames per second: 25 or 30
      5. Save GIF file to Photos app.
  1. Start creating your ‘New Post’ strory as usual
  1. To add exported GIF into your story:
    1. Switch to Photos App
    2. Open saved GIF
    3. Tap on share button
    4. Select Copy Photo option from menu
    5. Go back to Instagram
    6. You should see prompt to import animated sticker from your clipboard
