Have you tried this out yet? Did it work for you? 👇🏼
hey, the discord channel link is expired :(
@@haneenmahdin7647 Fixed sorry about that
@@danelayton Thanks!
No still 🙁
nope
but it was a post, does that make a difference?
The fact that you have to do alllll this just for a quality upload says alot about how unnecessarily complicated Instagram chooses to be
I've been facing that issue for a long time, I tried re-uploading an old reel again by your method and it worked, thanks a lot man
You are literally the best, I've been looking for a tutorial for three days and yours works
THAAANNKK YOOOUU.
I've watched a minimum of 6 of these videos so far with shockingly awful results but YOU, Dane McBeth! You have saved my bloody day, dude!!
Love it!
YOU are a live saver. i’ve been losing it trying to find one that works, and this one did. thankyou so much
Thank you!!! You fixed my issues with blurry/dark reel uploads.
This just saved me a ton of time for the instagram reel losing quality. Thanks!
For some reason, everytime I upload, the quality is really good but when I switch accounts, it turns terrible
weird
Yeah me too
Mine too
Same exact problem
how to fix it??
Excellent video! You showed how to do it really well. You earned a new sub!
Thanks Bro
I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, I love the step by step instructions with both visual and explanation of each step of the process, its how I found where I went wrong. Thanks
appreciate the hardwork put behind this. such a underrated youtuber
Holy shit. I've recently found you on IG and love your content and now I accidentally found your youtube while searching for how to fix my upload quality. Love this, thanks Dane.
haha that is awesome 👍🏼 Thanks for the support
It wasn't accidentally, Google sold your information 😂
Just messing around
This might have been the most useful video on this topic I have ever seen! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the rest of the video, appreciate it I will try this 4K render on IG, quick question though, does the video have to also be recorded in 4K or can I upscale?
it has to be in native 4K and why would you upscale to 4K its like upsampling mp3 to flac mate lol ...
I didn't know this video existed! Thanks bro! Really grateful.
Thank you! I didn't know about this before, much apreciated!
Nice tutorials is much more simple than I thought with you explaining it. Currently half way through and I feel like I know every tutorialng already lmao
I wondered about waiting for the videos to play through on Instagram & RUclips before I post them! Do you think it helps checking the 4k output for 1080P Videos on Adobe Premiere Pro?? I'm also having to convert PS5 videos that are WEBM to MP4 to edit them on Adobe Premiere. I'm noticing a resolution change sometimes, even when I select the highest quality. Your video was extremely helpful, though. I can tell that you know what you're talking about!
True. Everyone recommends to export at HD even if it was shot in 4K. I compared them on a dummy account with another device (in your own device reels look always better, don’t know why). 4K even compressed looks far better than hd within Instagram.
This is helpful thanks for sharing!
Whew thank you for this! I was getting tired of filming in great quality but not seeing it once uploaded 😩😂
Thanks bro. You responded some doubts I had about reels. Started following you.
Glad to hear it
Super helpful simple and efficient. Thank you!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Any tips for making the vodeos on the phone?
“Allow high quality uploads” function on Tik tok has made it so the video that saves to my device when it’s uploaded is 1080p but the actual video on Tik tok is like 360 or 480 or some potato resolution. I am convinced that tik tok just targets smaller creators to save space on their platform because there is nothing else you can use to fix it.
Frrr
😁😁😁😁😁 potato 🥔 resolution. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is underrated truth. Just make it medium and a bit low saver setting for the video. If the result already pretty good. Just that. Except, if u find any ways to make it more clear/hd maybe. Like a tutorial vid that I was found. Many people have a their best result. Like im gonna try it. Is it?
I use my canon G7X mark ii to shoot my videos. Then I use capcut to edit. quality is great. But when I transfer my downloaded video to my phone and then upload to tik tok, the quality is absolute shit. I have the S21. Could it just be my phone thats showing shitty quality, or am I doing something wrong? I've heard that tik tok doesn't support 4k? But also when im on tik tok desktop, the quality is somewhat better than on my phone. So frustrating. Does anyone have any tips?
@@stitchedfern7492 Yeah, switch to iPhone.
Dude great walk through, I appreciate it.
Super helpful been doing this and its definitely a huge difference
Great to hear that
You are a life saver! Kudos to you! You rock!!
Great video, very informative. I would suggest one on HDR uploading next. I have been uploading with my IPhone 10 in HD because my videos look way better on these apps than with my IPhone 13 somehow lol
I dont like the look of HDR
I have a 14 pro and dont run HDR, have heard it ruin’s quality
Social Media doesn't support HDR
@@steveclarke94 only youtube does and that's just for regular videos I think
Hey Dane, Thank you for the video. I love it. Do you have a video step-by-step on how to edit the right way (TikTok and Instagram)?
Awesome breakdown, thanks!
Damn I subscribed WAY TO EARLY LMAO . WISH I WAITED TILL THE END BECAUSE YOU JUST GAVE UP SOME INFORMATION I NEVER KNEW !!!!
Hi, Great video. Whiat is the your camera settings when you record your video (4K, 24, 30 or 60 FPS) ? Thanks
Thank you for this video, I am trying to figure out what setting should I be recording in for easier upload either to google drive or to an editor via we transfer, just because I did a 6 min video on UHD60 and tried upload it to google drive it took like 2 hours, I also have a Sony Zv1 and recorded a 4k video in an sdxc card, I transfer the video to my laptop no editing software, I tried to transfer it via we transfer size was 4GB and it took about 2 hours to send to someone for edits. I am not an editor so I believe my settings are wrong what are some recording size I should look for, for easier transfers from my camera to to computer or from my phone to drive for edits.
Hi I have the done the following:
High quality upload on
Exported at 4k 30p, max Bitrate
Wifi upload speed 50mbps
Let the video load completely after upload.
But it's still the same!
Literally feel like uninstalling Instagram now 🙂
Have you tried uploding in 1080p, 30fps?
Thank you for the information! So useful!
Dane thanks alot for this video man . Is there any diffrent if i post from phone or pc diffrent i. Quality ?
Man u made my life easy i was struglling to upload my 60 fps video insta thanks for that aglitch suggestion it works!!!
love u mate!!!!
everything perfect, but how did you record the video? If I were to use a GoPro, apart from setting 4K, what else should I put? example how many fps? Did you shoot this video with the GoPro?
If you are uploading from iphone, does this make your audio mono or keep it stereo? I'm a musician and I don't want my music to be played out mono! Thanks for any advice.
Do you film vertically or horizontally and then crop in? Also when you export, why don’t you have the ‘maximum render quality’ box checked? And what about the CBR, VBR pass 1 or VBR pass 2 settings? Thanks!
Normally say film horizontal and crop in as it allows you to do a shorts clip and longer footage as a full length horizontal video
This helped tremendously. thank you.
IT WORKED!! THANK YOU BRO!
Awesome to hear that 👍🏼
Dane, Thank you for sharing how to post good quality videos.
interesting take on the upload quality. Another guy I watched here said you have to upload the way iG shows it because if the quality is too high IG will process it for you in lower quality
I believe if you upload in 4K it gets downgraded by instagram to around full HD (1080x1920 or 1080x1350 or 1080x1080) so this 4K exporting seems like a bit overkill to me
Thank you so much! This is very helpful!!!
what program do you use to capture the video so that you can edit it afterwards?
thanks man . you helped me so much thank you again
With reels do you think the audio music you choose affects the quality of the video as well?
great video !!! thankyou man, what do you record your video's with? i personally use a drone which can max film in 1080p! will i be able to post it in HD too then? just memorycard transfer the files from my drone to computer (final cut pro) and airdrop the HD version?
I use my iphone 13 pro. If your drone is filming 1080, I would just create a 4k timeline and stretch the video to fit
Since TikTok only allows 1080p, should we just save the video as 1080p instead of 4K and upload as 1080p? I have a feeling TikTok lowers the quality of 4K uploads compared to 1080p uploads.
Thanks for making video on this ‘ my videos were always blury ‘ this video is really helpful .. 👍🏼
Thanks I’ll try this out. I’ve been uploading Reels IG videos through my desktop and it seems fine on my iPhone, but my coworker said the quality is blurry which is why I sought this tutorial. She has a Samsung phone though so I don’t know if that changes the quality? I assumed uploading through my desktop is good since I don’t have to send myself the file and upload through my phone. Your thoughts?
Hey dane at 5:28 when you say rename your audio i have a question. Did u put audio in the video in adobe premier or did u upload the video to ig and then choose an audio from in the app? Can u explain the difference and what u prefer? Ty Dane
I put the audio in Adobe Premiere and then upload it. I never choose an audio directly on IG.
@@danelayton ok how do you download the audio exactly from the original ig? And when u do upload on ig, do u tag the original song or no? U just put your name?
THANK YOU SOO MUCH😭😭😭✨✨✨
do you think if I add a music from instagram on the reels instead of add the audio from directly since I edit the video make some difference?
Hi thanks for the help! I had all my preset settings for ig reels set and now when I export my files from premiere pro I get a lot of quality lose, do you know why ?
Thanks for the great video. I had a problem today adding music to my 4k reel. Can you not add music to 4k reels?
Do you recommend these same settings for RUclips Shorts?
Do you recommend I continue filing with my 13 pro or get the latest phone or new camera?
Nice. Thanks a lot actually. It worked, you explained it well. Thank you
Worked for me thank you!❤️
This works Hella good! Recommended
I've seen other YT'ers change the width, height, and bit rate of the video. Does this not effect it much? Also recommendation on iphone video settings? I have a iphone pro max 12. Great video, thanks!
I just drag my 4k clip into the timeline in Adobe Premiere and the sequence settings automatically adapt to it.
hey i wanna ask , what kind of filter are you using for all your videos ?
what camera do you use to film this reels? I am looking to buy a beginNers camera
Is there a similar process for photos? Any certain way you must export the photo from the computer?
thank you bro very simple and direct content
Do you know what the best settings are to film on the iPhone? FPS and resoultion?
I noticed the reels on your IG are 1080x1920 quality , while 99% uploaded reels are 720x1080. ( even using the steps form this video ) 🤔 im wondering if this is a feature reserved for only some accounts.
is it better to upload tiktok videos through my desktop or is it better to airdrop to my phone and upload them from there?
Thanks for explaining it so simple!
What kind of filters are you using for your instagram videos. Or where you are finding them? Thank you
hi great video....is this better quality than using your iphone?
Appreciate this Dane
👍🏼⚡️
Goated thank you brother very very thankful!
Any time
Thank you for this!
worked for me, thanks!!
Great info. Much appreciated
Easy like from me. Great video dude
But Instagram isnt 4k compatible still so it's compressing your video to 1080 anyways. Is there any point uploading a 4K file versus just exporting in premire pro as 1080p and uploading to IG that way?
Hi, for both Instagram and TikTok, would you recommend uploading from a phone and not a desktop for quality purposes?
Thank you very much for this video!!
if you don't have a macbook to airdrop what do you do? I've used wetransfer but sometimes the video is too big i guess and wont be downloaded to my phone same via google drive
Everything works at its best!!
Thanks! What equipment did you use for filming that reel?
iPhone 13 Pro
I think you're right. I tried letting my reel play out once before clicking on add, the preview was, as expected blurry. I didn't finish the preview and uploaded it. After it was on my feed, I let it play out once fully before clicking on it (the action that opens the reel and starts the reel loop) and it was good quality. However when I revisited it later, it doesn't look the same quality. I'm *this* close to giving up on Instagram entirely.
I tried these steps and it didn’t make any difference for my uploads
Same 😭 it’s so annoying!!
It not works
It can definitely be glitchy. Keep trying... Make sure the video hasn't been sitting in your camera roll for longer than 4-5 days or else your iPhone will optimize for storage and compress the video quality.
Uploading on an apple device with "high quality uploads" turned on really helps.
Hi Dane. What app do you use for editing videos/photos? Thanks
Premiere Pro
Care to share your camera setup for this video you recorded? :) Would love to upgrade my current setup, thanks! Been enjoying your content for quite some while
If you're talking about this RUclips video, I film on a Canon 80D with a Sigma 24mm Art Lens. My Instagram stuff is just with my iPhone 13 👍🏼
@@danelayton Thank you! :)
Tip: make sure u're using the latest instagram version.. blurry quality can sometimes be due to not updating the app
Life Saver
can you tell me the name of the program that is installed on the computer? Thank you!
seems like it worked for me! thank you!
Great Video | did not know that about tik tok and totally had insta blur at high-quality video before - thank you for sharing that fix.
Happy to help
I made a video with my phone 7GB size 4k but when I tried to upload it to the cloud it took forever to upload 50% then it's crashed and never uploaded.. What other ways do u recommend to transfer large files from mobile to pc?
Great video. 🙏🙏🙏
How can you get the Instagram App, (not the website), on your macbook pro?
Thank you very very much! For me, the problem was I didn't let it play through. Thank you for clearly pointing the trick at 5:01
It doesn't work for me on tiktok even with High Quality option turned on. The video was good when watched in the account where I uploaded the video but when I watched in a different account on the same device or phone the video is ugly and grainy.
What is the name of the video editing software you are using?🙏
hi I am a photographer I have recently photographed fashion editorial shoot I wanted to create photo reel I have never tried sequence of photos on a video editing strip to create a reel using sequence of photos do I have to export each photo as a normal Instagram export quality or do I have to put highest quality photo in the editing strip and export in reel quality and if its just images and no video what quality should I put 4k or 1080p
