@3:51 RENDERING a higher framerate does not remove motion blur. The camera already captures blur depending on the RECORDING framerate. In post you can only ADD motion blur as an fx, and only remove it with AI tools
Motion Blur does not has anything to do with framerate either, but with shutter speed. You can film 24 FPS at 1/400 or 60FPS at 1/60 and the 60FPS video will have much more motion blur
Thanks Nicolas! Appreciate the support man. Been working hard to keep the content coming and the production quality high so there’ll be a lot more videos like this one
Most people doesnt realize after they upload it , i look super good, but if they close ig and re open and re watch it either using their acc or other acc , the footage post earlier will suddenly looks super bad
Thanks for the tip! I had no idea the high-quality setting existed and was turned off by default. Now you mention transferring your file from your computer to your phone. But what about uploading from the computer directly?
Hey, nice content! What do you think that youtube recommends using 8mb/s for 24,25 and 30fps 1080 videos? Is the standard 8mbs and maximum 16mbs enough, or does the quality suffer and should you I 12mbs and 24mbs?
Thanks for watching Kenneth im glad you enjoyed it! Currently the max FPS instagram reels supports is 30 so whenever you export I would export in a 30fps timeline. In camera you can record at any framerate above 30fps though which will give you the smoothest playback and also allow you to slowdown your footage if you'd like and have it remain smooth.
@@shaji6481 if you've recorded your footage at 24fps then it isnt going to appear as smooth as 30 or 60fps. Unfortunately there isn't any way to increase the frame rate of footage after it is shot, but if you want to have smoother playback in the future then you can switch your record setting to 30 or 60fps
@@kylewiltshire nope no problem shooting in 24fps it just depends on what kind of a feel you are trying to achieve. If you shoot in 24fps your footage will appear more cinematic due to the fact that it will have more motion blur between frames. If you shoot in a high frame rate you wont get that motion blur which will make your footage appear smoother. There is no right or wrong way to do it
Rarely touched on in these type of guides is the 24 framerate. It depends on your content, but the gold standard for that dreamy music-video look is to film in 30 and slow it down by 20% on a 24 timeline. Then export in 24. BUT, the IG minimum is 30 and there are mixed observations on whether the 24 would look choppy or not once uploaded. The running theory is that IG will force the 24 to 30, therefore losing frames. But there isn't a single definitive answer it seems. Safe bet would be to just stick with 30 but you do lose out on that nice dreamy look to your movements.
man, thank you. It's a jungle out there, with a thousand videos and posts on Reddit, everyone saying their piece on this topic... all this only increases my hatred towards Instagram, a platform that has become a showcase for videomakers, which still in 2024 has all these compatibility issues, mysteries about codecs, frames per second, terrible algorithms.. ah god
Just edit in a 1080 timeline, no need to edit in a UHD timeline if it's going to be 1080. For quality, then the final determining factor should be the compression used for encoding.
This was all very informational. I'm a novice, but this is driving me nuts. If I change my sequence to 1080 x 1920, the 4k clip I filmed fills the 9x16 frame, but when I change my sequence to 2160 x 3840, the 4k footage is cropped within the frame and doesn't fill it. What am I missing?
According to Adobe, for best quality 4k exports you want a bitrate between 60-80mbps. It really depends on what you are hoping to do with the video but if file size is not an issue then I would aim for closer to 80. as long as you are above 60 though I dont think anyone will be able to notice a difference. Hope this helps!
hi, thank you for uploading this video. i want to make reals and i have an iphone pro max 13. i have did everything you said and still when i upload the 4k video -which i made with my phone- the quality still is not like when i watch the video in the album. how is this even possible? do i need to by a camera?
If your record in 60fps and export in 30fps... youre missing half of the frames. I only record in 60 fps when I know im gonna slow down the video (i shoot mostly birds) ...
In your sequence you´re using 3840px vertical, but 4k is reorded in 2160px vertical.... doesn´t it stretch the video to match the 3840px vertical, I think it may cause quality loss
I thought Instagram doesn’t support 4K uploads for Reels and that if you try to upload them they get compressed and lose quality anyway? I read that for Reels you should shoot in 1080P.
Hello. I'm reaching out here again because I'm at my wits' end. I use a GoPro 11 camera primarily for my bike trips. I shoot videos vertically as I intend to upload them on Instagram. All the videos look great on my phone or in the Quick app. I record in 2.7k 60fps or 4k60fps. However, when I upload the footage to Instagram, the video is completely ruined. It doesn't matter how I export the video, whether in HD, FHD, 2k, or 4k. Reels always end up being of poor quality. Additionally, when I record with my phone in 4k 30fps, those videos look good on Instagram as well. Please help, as I'm about to throw this camera in the trash.
have watched too many dang videos and still my videos look like crap. When editing in FCPX my 4K videos from my A7IV look absolutely amazing but NEVER look good on Instagram, at least not like so many worse quality videos I watch, Drives me crazy. I will try this method but have a feeling this is old and instagram has changed it's quality settings. So many saying to can upload 4K videos but Not me. Is there a Compression or Bit rate I should be changing in Compressor maybe? Hopefully you will do a newer video for 2023 on this subject. Unfortunately I do not use Premiere but FCPX
Instagram started downgrading stories and reels to 720p now. It used to be 1080p. If you download some of your reels you can check the quality of the videos. It’s so annoying. They’re trying to save on storage space and bandwidth from what I’ve read online. I wish someone can make a video on this because many people are experiencing this issue.
@@sadiawh89 really? I did not know that, they are actually downgrading them now? I just started uploading them in 1920 and they seem fine now. I guess.
From instagrams official page: 'Reels should have a minimum frame rate of 30 FPS (frames per second) and a minimum resolution of 720 pixels.' So when they say 30fps they mean 29.97? And what do they mean by a minimum of 30. It makes it sound as if you could post more than 30fps but I have tried to post 60 fps many times and it always gets rencoded to 30fps. But I feel like i've seen buttery smooth 60 fps reels before. There is no such thing as support in these major social media corporations cause you're not the customer, so I can't ask them either why I can't post in 60fps but seemingly others can.
@@cypresv9380 I never managed to post a 60fps reel though I feel like i've seen them before. Perhaps there are none or if you can post 60fps it's only select popular accounts.

Same here, always garbage after i re open instagram
Thats because instagram store it in app cache and play again a compressed preview of your reel
how do you fix this problem?
Thanks man , appreciate it! crisp & clear

thank you Ryan
What app are you using to edit the video?
I have a iPhone and MSI laptop, I have iCloud on my laptop, is this good as well or rather put it in Dropbox?

Sir can we convert from hdr to Instagram compatible reel .. as my reel is becoming blur when I apply all the export settings
Ryan, do we keep the target bitrate around 10 even if the video is in 4k? my video is already in 4k and I intent to export it to Insta
4k is higher for both target and maximum bitrate, play around with it, I like 60-65.
I tried this and it looks fine on my computer and iPhone but when I go to upload it to Instagram that’s when it loses color for some reason.
