Well video for Instagram must be saved as an MP4.

If your video is 10 minutes or less the maximum file size is 650MB. If your Video is upto 60 minutes in duration, the maximum file size is 3.6GB.

Cover Photo Size: Once uploaded you cannot change the cover photo. The recommended size for cover photos is 420px by 654px (or 1:1.55 ratio). .
