Make a carousel, and animate it

A carousel is a set of slides people swipe through. It works well for tips, steps and product line-ups.

Make a carousel

1. Open Creative Studio, pick your brand and choose Create → Carousel.
2. Describe the topic and who it is for. Choose whether to use your logo.
3. Check the credit cost and create.
4. Open the finished carousel. Use Redo slide on any slide you want changed.
5. Attach it to a post on your calendar, or download the slides.

Animate it

1. Open a finished carousel and click Animate.
2. For each slide, choose Still, Moves, or Walk-through, where a character you describe walks through the scene (for example "a cheerful baker in a yellow apron").
3. Preview the walk-through character and frames.
4. Check the credit cost, which depends on how many slides move, and start.
5. Attach it to an Instagram post. It posts as one carousel with moving slides.

Good to know

• The cover and last slide carry your logo, or your business name if you have no logo on file.
• Still slides do not add to the animation cost.
• The same character appears on every walk-through slide, and you can save characters to use again.
• Opening a finished carousel shows where it was posted.
