    What about a 60 second Reel that's 45MB and won't compress any further. How do you handle that? Generally I try and get my Reels to 25MB so I can gmail them to myself and download them to my iphone. Anything over that it gets tricky. What do you do for longer form, heavier Reels/Storys that you still want to have that crispy quality?

    • @KellanReck
      @KellanReck  Год назад +4

      In my experience, 1080x1920 plays better when it passes through Instagram's compression. When viewed on a phone, the difference between 4k and 1080 exports isn't too dramatic, so having to do less compression ends up being better.

    Hey brother, I am hoping you can help me! I am having an issue that I've never experienced. My video looks flawless in the premiere pro window, but when I export, it's washed out. I have tried fixing this by adding a gabba compensation cube file but that hasn't fixed the problem. There's no change when adding that gabba compensation file once the video is exported. Again, my problem is, the video looks great in adobe pp software, but looks washed or bleached out when exporting. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

      I’ve had this issue before when clients have posted videos that I’ve had them download remotely. I believe the issue with audio-delay may take place at the stage of uploading them to instagram. “Having a strong internet connection” is important, but this *may* still not be the issue. Instagram has bugs.

    Its about the system you are using to upload video on social. If you use Android it will always suck, regardless of the export setting. iPhones only keep the quality of the upload, I tried many times. It's about some strong unwritten connection between IG/facebook and Apple codec.

      @@KellanReck Hey, yes I’ve tried your settings and also from another videos, but all of them are made for videos grabbed with camera. The bitrate 15 is not working for me.
      It goes low quality on IG, and it didn’t work for videos grabbed with iPhone.
      What worked for me probably the best so far were :
      H.264
      Size : 1080x1920 , 60fps
      Profile High (5.1 / 5.0)
      Bitrate CBR : 30
      and checked Render at maximum quality / depth.
      And I try that the file size is up to 100MB (not more).
      But when I zoomed in the video a bit (Edit: from 100 to 120) and export with these settings, the quality went low on IG.
      • I have short dance videos (20-40secs), so there is a lot of quick movement. Maybe that may have some effect?
      Somebody told me to use Quicktime - Apple ProRes 4444 codec, but that file is always like 1.67GB and Airdrop cancel the transfer. Also, it was not the best quality when uploaded on IG.
      I saw that many people have Reels so cristal clear and sharp, and I don’t think that all of them would have a Pro Camera. 🤔

      @@shubhammahajan9117 Hey, let's say that I've found the best option that works for me, however still it is not as from the camera. However I think it is the best that you may get from a video that is grabbed on the phone:
      H.264
      Resolution: 4K or HD (both are ok)
      Profile: High 5.0 (the 5.1 is making problems sometimes)
      CBR: 30 (is the standart I use the most), sometimes also 35 is alright - if it's not too large video.

    Is there really no way to upload 4K footage to instagram?

      You definitely can, I've just found it doesn't handle the compression as well.

    Why are you suggesting VBR (which saves file size, but reduces quality where it may not be needed), when there is no need to save file size on a short IG video that can be up to 4g in size. Seems like you are saving space and sacrificing quality needlessly. Why not hold on your video quality even is some machine says you can toss some out and it will be "almost" just fine.

    Good thing that you explained nothing on the export settings and just said "this is fine".
