Instagram Video Upload Format
Firstly, don't attempt and also upload massive videos, whatever is downscaled to an optimum size of 1080 pixels (height can be anything, square or otherwise), so posting ultra-HD videos (or videos with a really high bitrate) is pointless.
We transcode the video after you publish it, so it will take a bit much longer for you to post a video file than it provides for a picture file. That lets you see a preview of just what the video that we will publish will certainly look like by clicking the video icon/ thumbnail on the article.
Expect videos to take quite a while longer compared to pictures to actually upload at your scheduled time as well as date. This is due to their loved one filesize when we publish it to Instagram.
How long can your videos be?
Instagram restricts videos to 60 seconds, so make sure your video is One Minute or less or it will be chopped automatically (see Instagram aid paper).
How short can your videos be?
videos should go to the very least 3 secs long or Instagram will not allow us upload them (see Instagram help file).
Comprehensive video specifications
Videos do not need to be to the listed below requirements: nonetheless we advise that if you're outputting video data especially for the function, keep them shut!
-Structure Dimension: optimum width 1080 pixels (elevation anything, although within the very same ratios as pictures).
-Frame Rate 29.96 frames each secondly (max 30fps, yet should be fixed, not variable).
-H. 264 codec/ MP4.
-5,500 kbps video bitrate (although Instagram might decrease this to 3,500 kbps when we publish it).
-AAC audio codec at 44.1 kHz mono (up to 128kbps).
File size isn't really especially limited by Instagram, however we recommend maintaining your videos under 50MB. Schedugram has a 150MB data size restriction when you are uploading documents. For reference, most 60 second videos posted to Schedugram are around 30MB.
