The Macarons Instagram story templates from Ninthmotion are effortless to use. They come in different designs and styles, making it easy to find one that matches your brand and aesthetic. To get started, all you need to do is download the templates free of cost.
Once you've downloaded the templates, you can customize them to your liking. Add your brand colors, change the text, and upload your images. You can even add your own animation effects to make your stories more engaging and eye-catching. One thing we would not recommend changing is the duration. Due to the fact that Instagram stories only last 15 seconds, it's recommended to stay within this timeframe unless you want to stretch your video between two or more story slides.

Although Instagram does offer built-in filters and color design tools that can quickly enhance the color of your content, it's better to design your own prior to uploading. Using your own LUTs and color presets during the editing process will eliminate the need to rely on Instagram for post-production design. You wouldn't want your content to look like a generic IG post as if it were made by a regular user. By controlling the color and tone of your content before publishing, you can prove that your visuals align with your brand's aesthetic and messaging.
Templates are obviously not bespoke, so they're not a 'one size fits all' type of thing. It's important to change the colors, animations, to match the vibes of your Instagram feed (if you're a content creator or influencer) or brand (if you're a company). Customizing templates prior to posting also provides an opportunity to reinforce brand identity and increase engagement with posts.
Now that you know about these top After Effects Instagram templates, it's time to start creating. By using these templates, you can elevate your story game and make a lasting impression on your viewers.
So what are you waiting for? Get started today and take your Instagram game to the next level with these amazing templates.
