Best Export Settings for Instagram - 2022 GoPro Tutorial

Everytime I upload an Instagram video I get a ton of messages asking how my GoPro footage looks so good on IG. I made this tutorial to help all of those asking! I run through the basics of how to enable high quality video uploads on Instagram, then give you some compression theory, and finally give you the numbers of export settings and bitrate you'll need!

Awesome video as always Abe! Question though, how would you help a GoPro user who is mobile-first and doesn't know how to use premiere pro?

[LuckTVHD]

Thank you so much!! Is it possible to have the "same tutorial" for best quality on export for YouTube ?? :)

[romanemoriau]

Thank you so much!! After watching 50 videos on the subject this is actually the first video that gives me results AND with super easy settings! I shoot on a GoPro underwater 4k at 60fps and it always looks crap on Instagram but thanks to you it’s gonna look awesome :)

Thats amazing dude! Great reminder that the GoPro 10 is an absolute beast of a camera to especially when u nail the settings in the first place, been loving it especially for my FPV content 🤟🏽

[CowboyRoy]

All your tutorials have been so great lately and well always! Thank you for the hard work and useful information!

What I love the most about GoPro is the community, no other camera has it. That's what GoPro is. ☺

Thanks Abe! Really appreciate it! Color correction tutorial next please? :)

[Robertsson]

Abe, your lessons are so on spot! That's exactly what we need! Going now into Premiere! 😁

Abe, thank you so much for this video!!!! I found 01:24 to 03:36 to be pure gold. These are some of the things that we struggle to understand when we try to make content for social. Looking forward to more videos like this one. I would appreciate it if you could also share the same settings needed for Davinci Resolve as well.

Thanks for the tip on switching on higher quality uploads on IG!

[DieterStemmet]

Simple, effective and super high quality.

Thanks Abe...Great Insights on Video Compression theory & the Best Practices.
The Export Settings & Numbers is something I look forward to try out someday in the future, when I start editing on Adobe Premier pro instead of the Quik app 😅

[Rush-Media]

Such dope, detailed content Abe! love it!

[milosstepanovic]

Thank you for explaining what happens when putting GoPro video onto Instagram, explaining why quality reduces and how it can be improved.

Many GoPro users don’t have Da Vinci or Adobe Premiere on PC, some of us only use an iPad or iPhone with basic apps like GoPro Quik.

I appreciate that as you are employed as Creative Director of GoPro you want to promote their product but you never use Quik in any of your tutorials. Is this because you have no confidence in the app or you simply cannot make it your Company’s main app work?

It would be really useful if you could suggest how to improve output from Quik to Instagram (or YouTube), or even produce future tutorials using Quik.

Thanks for such an informative tutorial video.

Thank you! Could you do one of these videos but for photos instead? :) You are awesome.
