Best instagram rendering option in MS13?

[Billy the Bat]

Hi,
I am making a few videos for Instagram using Movie Studio 13. Now that Insta is 60 seconds i have more creative options.

That said, the recommended size is 1090 X 1090 im lead to believe? (anyone know any different?)

So, once i have finished making the video, i have to render it, and i am having trouble selecting render option that suits that size..

None of the render output options have a 1090X1090 option, the best is 1080 X 1440.

Also i need it in MP4, so was hoping anyone familar with the codecs etc.. which is the best one to use? also prefer to keep the files as small as possible so it loads quicker on mobile devices.

If i select, 1080X1440, yet made the video at 1090 X 1090 does that change it? or will the total dimension of the frame stay the same, and the pixel density will remain with in that?

Any input welcome.
Cheers.

Who says 1090x1090?

I would make it 1080x1440 and let instagram crop it for you if you want the squared size. But I think you can use 4:3 and 16:9 video also.

And use H264/AVC video codec.

I still cant get it to work properly or i just dont understand.

I set up MSP-13 to have a 1080 X 1080, all looks good, then i save it to disk using MP4 but it still only has preset outputs of 1080 X 1440 using Apple 540p30 video...

Yet when i upload to my phone and go to instagram the edges are still cropped! out.

I dont get it? yet i have seen others wide screeen 16.9 etc and they are full in the square?? its driving me crazy.
