If you want to turn to other solutions to make videos for Instagram by combining photos and music, take a look at the apps proposed below: they may be useful for you.
- Magisto (Android / iOS / iPadOS) - offers the possibility of making videos by combining photos and music, but know that the free version does not allow you to insert more than 10 photos per video, also limiting the duration of the latter to 10 minutes.

If you do not subscribe, know that to download the output files you will have to make a purchase of 1,09 euros / video. I also point out its availability as an online service.
