  Instagram Render Settings: Bad bad quality

  Posted by Mika1976 on October 28, 2018 at 6:42 pm

  Hi guys,
  I’ve uploaded a short video (audio animation video 15secs) to instagram and it’s looking horrible (green blocks, artifacts, really bad quality)
  plus the audio and the video animation are out of sync…
  in the preview window in instagram the video is looking fine.
  I searched the internet for the settings and I’m quite sure I’ve done everything right… but it looks horrible…
  I’ve seen videos with very very good quality…

  Here are my settings
  after effects comp:
  1080×1080 px
  framerate 29,97

  adobe media encoder :
  H.264
  Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 Pass
  Target Bitrate: 3Mbps
  Maximum Bitrate: 4Mbps

  Render at Maximum Depth
  Use Maximum Render Quality

  (Audio)
  AAC
  stereo
  320 kb

  I manually drop the new mp4 video via USB cable to my android phone… and do the video posting via the app…

  Like I said, the video and the audio sync looks really great in the first instagram preview window…
  I choose no filter…

  the result is so bad ☹
  one of the main issues is some kind of stop&go, clumsy, bumpy playback, so the audio animation isn’t in sync…

  what am I missing???

  do I have to export the after effects animation into premiere to get better results?

  Thanks for your help.
  Cheers,
  Mika

  You can go nuts with Instagram and no issues.
  mostly length of video.
