Video quality of posts in Facebook and Instagram

Hi,
Did anyone else has problems with pixelated video in social networks (fb, insta). And i'm not talking about my uploads... Every video i see has this issue. I'll try to get a screenshot or video edit of this also.

Same for me, only vidéos but all apps: Twitter Facebook and Instagram..

I've just bought my Huawei P20 Pro and video quality in facebook, instagram, even some youtube videos is really bad, pixelated. I compare to my iPhone 6 which I still have it and it is a 4 years older phone which runs them perfect on a smaller screen. There must be some trick with the resolution that Huawei must fix! Any info to share?

Bad audio and visual
This is the same for me. The quality of the sound is bad as well. I think someone said on here that Snapchat doesnt use the camera on android but "screen records" the video thats on the screen or something, But the sound should be good.
It is so bad its like using a camera from 20 years ago

Same Here, Any Fix for This?
I have the same issue, can anyone direct me to any link that could help me solve this? Thank you!

Have you downsized screen resolution or set it to automatic?
Settings - Display - Screen Resolution.

No, it is just the way the app is on android I am afraid. I have learned to take the video using the camera app then later post to Instagram
It's a shame this, something needs to be done. Surely 2018 Android can take good quality videos using Instagram and snapchat

My gf cant post videos made outside of Instagram, on her Iphone. Instagram just closes.
So maybe Instagram is the one to blame.

For me, I recorded a video in 4K resolution with H265 audio codec. I uploaded to Youtube and wait for a while, YouTube process the video in 1080p 60fps. OK, not bad. But when I uploaded it to FB, FB downsized it to 720p 30fps. That is terrible. It's not the problem with the phone. My LG V20 also have similar experience. It's the Youtube, FB and Instagram to be blamed for downsizing the video files for easier upload.

Crappy video upload quality on Instagram Stories

I don't know if it happens to everybody, but when I record a video on Instagram Stories, even if is with a good quality when recorded, when I upload it, it's with a horrible quality, all laggy and ****. Is there any fix for this? Recording a video from stock camera then posting it improves the quality?

I've noticed the same thing, its pixelated and laggy, Snapchat don't have this problem.

I have the same problem. Anyone have any news on the topic?

This had been mentioned before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/instagram-stories-videos-low-framerate-t3846135
I've heard that upgrading to Android Pie or downgrading Instagram version will help on the video quality. It's not like all stories from my friends are also low quality as I am...

Android app
You can try app from play market, it helps upload video to stories in hight quality. Works with Android 7+ (https:// ) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.insta.videouploader and it has free upload every day or low price subscription which gives you upload files without any limits

Instagram Stories audio/video unsynchronized

Good morning guys,
I'm dealing with a very annoying issue with Instagram stories
For those who doesn't know, when we post a video with more than 15s, Instagram cut the video in 15s portions and post them in a sequence. Well, the fact is that when i'm doing this, the first segment is OK, synced audio and video. But the followings are always terrible, totally unsynced and the end of each segment's totally muted.
I've already tried all the alternatives, like using external apps, recording with camera app then uploading, but none of this actually worked
I've recently noticed that this issue's solved when I record using the codec H265 in native camera app, but the colors of the video changes a lot. I'm always having this trouble when I'm trying to record with Instagram app by itself.
I really don't know what to do by now, and I'm really (and saddly) thinking about returning the cellphone
Does anyone already heard about it?
Thank you in advance,

Did you reinstall the app? If not then uninstall and reinstall again and check.

I have the same issue, also with SnapChat..

I assumed this was an Instagram issue. I also get the failed by the third or fourth video in the story and no option to save it or reupload. Personally think it's the the terrible application developers for snap and Instagram, this phone is capable of amazing videos and photos and both those apps quickly ruin memories. It's beyond aggravating.

With mine aswell! This is super annoying. I pay so much money and can't even share stories?!
I should have never though buying Huawei...

Same issue here. The second and the following Instagram stories get out of sync. What could be causing it?
I also noticed the image on Instagram stories is very choppy.
I would appreciate any tip, as returning the phone is not an option.

anyone have a ugly grey filter on their videos on instagram its awful?!!!

Hey guys, are you still having the unsynchronized videos/audio in the 9.0.213 update?

I just recently started facing the same issue with my Instagram stories and chats , everytime I create a story or share a video through chat the audio ends before the video . It's so annoying , I've been using insta for years and that's never happened before !! It's the 21st century!!

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?

Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.

For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.

If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.

Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem

Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.

@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.

I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.

I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.

Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)

Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.

Question Videos sent by WhatsApp with very poor quality

Hello guys,
The videos recorded with the camera application when they are sent by Whatsapp are sent with very poor quality, with slowdowns (lag), as if the moment of compiling or compacting the video by the WhatsApp app was not right. I have a Mi11 Lite and my previous Mi9 this did not happen (a colleague with the Xiaomi 12 does not have this problem either), it is true that when sending via WhatsApp the quality drops, but in the case of the Xiaomi 12 PRO it is horrible, a video remains useless.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you think it's a problem with the phone or WhatsApp?
My Xiaomi 12 PRO is de EEA with actuality version 13.0.17.0 (SLBEUXM) but I have this problem since I bought it, 2 MIUI updates have already passed but the problem has not been fixed
Thank you for your answers.

I was facing the same issue too when I sent the video to my colleague through WhatsApp. They complain that the video is stuttering and unpleasant to watch. Then I tried to send through WeChat, the quality is good. So I guess it's due to WhatsApp. You may try to send through other apps and see the result.

Thanks for your answer, yesterday I installed GoogleCamara and if you record the video from the Google Camera and send it it is seen correctly...then it makes me doubt if the problem is Miui Camera...I found complaints from Oppo users with the same problem. It's a problem that annoys me very much, I love the phone, it's amazing, but these things leave a bad taste in my mouth... and even more so being a €1,000 phone... let's see if with some WhatsApp update or of the Miui Camera is solved. greetings and thanks

Hello, i recording at 1080p 30/60fps, de problems not is the resolutions, is the Miui Camera Vs Whatsapp compression... if i recording with GCam and send this video dont show this problem... for my, this is a very big mistake and i belive that Xiaomi o Whatsapp will not fix this problem because i readed that OnePlus models or Oppo models show the same error and not fixed never... I will wait 1 or 2 new updates for Miui or for Whatsapp, if this problem not fix i will sale the Xiaomi 12 PRO. I loving it this phone but i belive can't have this mistaks a phone cost 1000€.
If someone can think of how I can solve the problem or contact Xiaomi to see if they know they have this problem in their "top of the range" phone, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Last MIUI version (.18 EEA) and the last Whatsapp version (2.22.13.70), both updated yesterday and we continue with the bad compresion with the sending videos... very sad.

I'm also using version 13.0.18 (EEA), and the videos recorded by Miui Camera work perfectly on whatsapp.
Try to update your camera to version 4.3.0 (Chinese Rom), and in the camera settings, make sure to use the h.264 codec

Thanks for your answer, i will check. Do you had the problem with the old Miui Camera version? Actually i have a 4.3.004030.0 version, where do you downloaded your version? Thanks for all.

This weekend i could test with differents videos resolutions and discovered that when do you recording with 4K 30 or 60 FTP this problem with Whatsapp disappear or is it not so obvious but if you recording with 1080 30/60 the problem appears.

Hi Guys. Easiest solution to this is disabling both HDR and HLG from camera settings menu. Also, do not select HDR manually while recording a video. MIUI 13 has no internal decorders to convert HDR/HLG videos back to normal while sending in whatsapp.

This did not work for me. The only thing that worked was switching to 4K which is not really a viable long term solution. Anything 1080p does not send properly. However, if I run the video through something like "stabilize footage" in Google Photos and then send it, it will be fine.

Nonono, nothing solved. Pictures taken by whatsapp or insta are very very poor like Very low resolution. Also videos taken directly from the app. This phine is like a **** of xiaomi didn't find a solution it is a garbage

Any news?

Still no solution, I'm on miui 13.0.10.0 and camera is updated 4.5, and whatsapp latest version. It's still a stuttershow. Poor

Send the video to telegram then from telegram send it to whatsapp. seems to be the only solution

If I convert it to 720p in the editor, it will 'solve' the problem

This is the last time I buy Xiaomi.
Had enough of them.
Also the issue with the mute button during a call is frustrating .

Also having the same issue with a Mi 11i. Any video that gets compressed or reencoded by WhatsApp turns into a stuttery blurry mess. Very annoying.

Just realized I have same problem
I understand no solution?
Gotta try with my xiaomi 13 pro, will let you know

Here's what I found out.
1. Whatever the resolution, if I enable HDR, when sending via WhatsApp the other party receives only one second of footage with wrong colors
2. If using H.264 or H.265 but 1080p and no HDR, sending via WhatsApp, the other party receives a stuttering video
3. If setting 4K or 720p and no HDR, video received is smooth
