Guide
Bitrate, resolution, and format tips before re-uploading downloaded clips to social platforms.
Overview
Re-uploading downloaded social video adds another lossy generation. Minimize passes: edit from Best quality master, export once to platform specs.
See /learn/social-media-video-specs for 9:16, bitrate, and duration targets per platform.
Use 720p only when bandwidth matters — not when quality is the deliverable.
