1080p 16:9 max (vertical or horizontal)Īlso, if you inspect a story video using a tool like mediainfo, you'll see something like the following:Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode.However, Instagram does provide some encoding requirements for IGTV. These settings are gathered from various sources and through trial and error. Instagram does not provide an official list of encoding requirements. These settings can also be applied to other encoders, such as Handbrake. This guide describes various FFmpeg encoding presets that can be used to help improve your video quality output when uploading to Instagram. Although the video preview on Instagram looks high quality, the resulting output will be degraded drastically. You will notice this especially if uploading videos from GoPro or other devices captured in 4K or 1440p with larger file sizes. If your source is lossy so is your output.Uploading high quality video to Instagram can result in lower quality video on posts and stories due to aggressive re-encoding to save on bandwidth and storage for users. Note: Video/audio output can only be as good as the video/audio input. To learn more about it and how presets affect the quality or encoding speed, check the H.264 encoding guide on the FFmpeg wiki. To set the quality, use -crf 23, where lower is better, and values from 18-28 are considered a good range.įfmpeg uses libx264's own preset system. Tests have shown this library functions comparatively if not more efficiently than Apple's Compressor or Episode, although both these programs have powerful features that ffmpeg does not have.

Wikipedia has related information at H.264/MPEG-4 AVC It's not natively supported in ffmpeg, so you will need to build ffmpeg with support for the external library, x264. It is heavier on encoding and decoding than preceding formats but results in much higher picture quality from smaller files. It is currently being used in formats such as Blu-ray, MP4, Flash (F4V), HTML5and most modern portable devices. H.264 is arguably the cutting edge of video compression codecs.
