Yup, you can upload unique thumbnails for video uploads, so whatever imagine you want for that specific post in the grid just upload the appropriate file as the thumbnail

Such a fire show. I’ve been waiting to see them for a long time, it was a perfect set

@@dylangreen9914 I've seen a ton of bands live, (not just all day festivals, those rarely end up being a bands best performance) and Meshuggah has to be a top 5 experience for me, right up there with Tool.

I’ll be there

i was there bruh , insane

Me too! It was awesome

I do have a clip of the end, it was their last encore. I’ll upload it!

@@dylangreen9914 YOU'RE THE GOAT

when you're building your grid in illustrator you design it to be continuous so that it appears as one image when you post to instagram (even though instagram will inevitably have some separation between the images).

This was driving me crazy too. Every tutorial I've found overlooks this and I couldn't even find any blogs that cover this after a serious amount of Googling. I figure it out by testing. If you set the gap between artboards to 14px it lines up perfectly. Short answer.... The gap between posts on the grid is 14 pixels. Still a great video though 👍

@@adambromilow4024 thank you !

Get a grip.

This. The BG image is not lined up (note the flower stretching across the two posts). I'm trying to find out the pixel width of IG post tiles so I can appropriately account for that in my posts by spacing my artboards by that amount... super hard to find that info apparently fml

@@cyruslegg the space between your artboards doesn't matter. Just make sure each artboard is 1080x1080 and when you export select the range of artboards rather than exporting "ALL"

@@dylangreen9914 hmmm I’m not sure I understand? If you don’t have the right spacing, then your clip mask will take the image in the ‘wrong’ place which will only be illustrated once uploaded to IG. I ended up finding the pixel spacing between IG tiles so my images look gtg with my method. When I tried using an estimated pixel spacing of say 5, diagonal lines don’t appear collinear.

@@cyruslegg If you are trying to create the continuous effect (across multiple posts or carousels) all you need to do is make sure the artboards are right next to each other, and then export them individually. When you go to file>export>jpeg you can select a range of artboards to export

Glad it helped! Woo!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

@@dylangreen9914 I noticed that I don't have "crop image" on my control panel. How do I add that? I tried going to Object < Crop but also didn't see the option there.

@@rasheedatv hmm - what version of Illustrator are you using? Another method you can try to make a rectangle in the shape/size you need the image to be, plalce it over the image you want to crop, and then hit commad + 7 to mask it!

glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Giovone. I'm in Portland, OR

sorry for the late reply - the max heigh dimensions for IG is 1350x1080 pixels

Mega sorry for the late reply - if I'm understanding you correctly, my solution would be repositioning them individually, which sounds like a bit of a pain in your case. I always assemble everything with the artboards touching and then separate them out later.

Party on

Hooray! I post a lot of different grid styles on my IG (@dylansantosgreen) so feel free to check those out for more references.
