What Video Format Does Instagram Use
Firstly, don't try and upload big videos, everything is downscaled to an optimum size of 1080 pixels (elevation can be anything, square or otherwise), so submitting ultra-HD videos (or videos with a very high bitrate) is meaningless.
We transcode the video after you post it, so it will take a bit much longer for you to upload a video data compared to it provides for an image documents. That allows you see a sneak peek of what the video that we will publish will resemble by clicking the video symbol/ thumbnail on the blog post.
Expect videos to take quite a while much longer compared to images to in fact upload at your scheduled time and day. This is due to their loved one filesize when we post it to Instagram.
How long can your videos be?
Instagram limits videos to One Minute, so ensure your video is 60 seconds or much less or it will certainly be cropped instantly (see Instagram aid file).
Just how brief can your videos be?
videos need to be at the very least 3 secs long or Instagram will not let us upload them (see Instagram assist record).
Comprehensive video requirements
Videos do not need to be to the below specification: however we recommend that if you're outputting video documents particularly for the objective, keep them close!
-Structure Size: maximum size 1080 pixels (height anything, although within the very same proportions as images).
-Frame Rate 29.96 structures per second (max 30fps, but need to be repaired, not variable).
-H. 264 codec/ MP4.
-5,500 kbps video bitrate (although Instagram might minimize this to 3,500 kbps when we publish it).
-AAC sound codec at 44.1 kHz mono (approximately 128kbps).
Submit size isn't really especially limited by Instagram, however we suggest maintaining your videos under 50MB. Schedugram has a 150MB file size limitation when you are posting documents. For referral, many 60 2nd videos published to Schedugram are around 30MB.
