How do I create video content for Instagram if I've never made a video before?

You don’t create videos inside Instagram itself. Instead, you record videos using your phone’s camera app. The videos are saved to your phone’s gallery. Once you have the recorded footage, you can then edit it using a video editing tool (like Edits, CapCut, or Instagram’s native editor) and upload the finished video to Instagram. The process is: record with your phone camera, find the videos in your gallery, edit them in your chosen editing app, then post to Instagram.
