Format Video for Instagram: When utilizing Schedugram to post your videos, it is essential that they are formatted properly. We have actually given basic guidance below about how best to format your videos.


Format Video for Instagram


Firstly, do not try and also upload massive videos, whatever is downscaled to a maximum size of 1080 pixels (height can be anything, square or not), so publishing ultra-HD videos (or videos with a very high bitrate) is pointless.

We transcode the video after you post it, so it will certainly take a bit longer for you to publish a video file compared to it provides for a photo data. That lets you see a sneak peek of exactly what the video that we will certainly post will look like by clicking the video icon/ thumbnail on the blog post.

Expect videos to take quite a while much longer compared to pictures to really upload at your scheduled time as well as date. This is because of their relative filesize when we upload it to Instagram.

How much time can your videos be?

Instagram limits videos to One Minute, so ensure your video is One Minute or less or it will be chopped immediately (see Instagram aid file).

Just how brief can your videos be?

videos should be at the very least 3 seconds long or Instagram will not let us upload them (see Instagram help paper).

In-depth video requirements

Videos do not need to be to the listed below specification: however we recommend that if you're outputting video data particularly for the function, maintain them shut!

-Composition Dimension: maximum width 1080 pixels (elevation anything, although within the same proportions as pictures).
-Structure Price 29.96 frames each secondly (max 30fps, yet should be dealt with, not variable).
-H. 264 codec/ MP4.
-5,500 kbps video bitrate (although Instagram could reduce this to 3,500 kbps when we publish it).
-AAC sound codec at 44.1 kHz mono (up to 128kbps).

File size isn't particularly restricted by Instagram, however we suggest keeping your videos under 50MB. Schedugram has a 150MB documents size restriction when you are submitting files. For recommendation, most 60 second videos posted to Schedugram are around 30MB.
