Video compression

What does Micro.blog do to uploaded video?

I just uploaded a 4K video that is about 45MB. It was massively compressed and became very pixelated. What should I be aiming for to get the best quality out of video uploads?

Micro.blog scales video down pretty significantly right now to more like SD resolution. We need to revisit this now that we’ve increased the file size to 75 MB. Maybe if the video is under 75 MB, it should just leave it alone.

That would be great! The original, even before I ran it through Compressor, was only 55 MB. I only ran it through compressor because I thought it had to be 45 MB. :slight_smile:

The limit used to be 45 MB so it might still be wrong in some blog posts or documentation.
