(Step 1)

Make sure you export all your movies at 720 HD using iMovie or Final Cut Pro or whatever program works so that you can then transfer to your iPhone or iPad (Your iPhone won't except 1080p)

(Step 2)

When exporting from iMovie or Final Cut Pro X create a folder (Or Use Dropbox) on your desktop name it Instagram Video and save your 720p edits there.

(Step 3)

Create a album in iPhoto (Or on Dropbox) name it Instagram Video. Transfer your edits from the desktop folder Instagram Video into iPhoto (Apple MAC users use AirDrop and send Videos or Photos directly from your MAC to iPhone 6)

(Step 4)

Open itunes and get ready for iPhone or iPod Sync. Make sure before you sync your iPhone/iPod you check the folder Instagram Video under photos and very important enable Videos within the preferences wile in iTunes.

(Step 5)

After you have successfully transferred videos to your iPhone or iPad use the App SquareadyV. (Squaready for video) This App will allow you to post entire 16:9 videos on Instagram without square cropping your video. If you don't have it download it now. Once you've transcoded your video with SquareadyV you will see your video has been saved to camera roll and is now ready to be uploaded to Instagram.

Note -

Prime times for posting are 8am (Mornings) and 5-6pm Mon-Friday (Afternoons) Don't post more then one video/photo in 24 hours or it won't reach it's full viral potential. Also add most all your hash tags on a comment don't use more then a few within the description of Video (30 Max) When you Tweet it make sure you have a good punch line and be sure to include @Instagram & @GoPro. If Instagram or GoPro likes it they will share or RT if your lucky. The more you blast it out the more likes and views you will generate increasing the value and your work (SEO)

Note - Dropbox is a great in the cloud source. Up to 4G of free storage & services that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again! Dropbox Rocks! Download it now here Dropbox and I get the credit :)
