Luckily, I found the perfect tool to cut your Instagram videos into 15-second clips and it’s an app called CutStory for Instagram stories.  This app is free in the app store and it will cost you .99 to remove the cut story logo

 

CutStory for Instagram stories is an iOS app, I couldn't find this for Andriod, however, I'm sure there are other apps that will get the job done for you.

 

How To Use The CutStory App For Instagram Stories

 

The first step is to go to the app store and download the CutStory App.  

 

Once you've downloaded and opened the CutStory app on your iPhone you'll have the choice to choose from editing a video or a photo. I’m going to choose a video for the purposes of this tutorial.

Click on "video" and then choose the video that you want to edit from your camera roll.  The next step is to simply click on "save" and this is where the magic happens.

Another great thing about this app is that it will allow you to choose how long each clip is based on where you will share it.

It will split videos and photos for Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat What’s App and you can even set custom durations as well.

 

I will click on "Instagram" for this tutorial.  Once you select your target platform, the app starts working immediately to cut your Instagram story video into 15-second clips and it’ll automatically save the clips to your camera roll when finished.  The app will also let you know how many clips you have after it's done.
