Question

Bad quality after uploading

I study After Effects now, and i have problems with quality of video when i upload it somewhere. At my comp it works perfect- high quality video, But then when i upload it somewhere: Behance, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo and other, the quality of video is much lower.😔😔.

 

I save it in mov and mp4, (h264).. I tried everything , diffrend sizes: 1080px, 2000px, 2500px, diffrend presets in Media encoder. But always the same result.

I see, for example many videos in Fb in high quality, so , it means that problem is not in compression, otherwise all video in Facebook would be bad, not only mine.

So what i do wrong?😩

You could try other devices because something might not be working with the one you are using. What I'm sure is that After Effects is not the cause of the poor quality of your uploaded videos

And what is the resolution of the video? It looks very bad. It seems a little strange to me that even though I see it on an iMac M1 I still see it in mobile mode, not as a desktop version. Do you use a browser or a third-party application to upload it?

Also, it might seem silly but I notice a little difference in quality when I upload from Android and when I upload from iOS (iPhone). The upload quality from an iPhone gives a bit of better quality, you still have to wait about 15 minutes for it to improve a bit. Again, I have not read this anywhere, it is my perception as a user of both platforms.

Each Social Network does its own compression and even if you leave a high data rate, the video you upload will still be highly compressed. However, if it is of very poor quality, it may only be within the first 15 minutes of uploading your videos, after that you could already see a better quality. I have not read this anywhere, I have experienced it.

It would probably help if you provided soem actual screenshots. That said, of course your quality will degrade. Pretty much any online service will re-compress your footage and you simply don't have much influence and control over those things.

I wonder why some videos in Fb very good quality. And some in bad, like mine.  Why if Facebook compression for every? This is is the most question. If i do video for client,  and then it when he upload it, it's looks  so awful.  I see on Fb many commercial promo video in very good and clean quality,  then it's possible,  but how?🤷‍♀️

Here is video for example my video,  and you can see on letters - it's not clearly, looks not good:  https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0mSMTeroXn84VwfaNMqT3zXcDqigpVoSdsSKAHvuj3rfW97tEfFGcU95RVmwm8iUcl&id=100032088127177

I tried a bunch of different H.264 compression setting.  The internet companies are all doing their own compression, so it was just easier for me.  I did notice a few of the presets actually looked worse on uploading.  For ease of use I just stick with Match Quality, High Bitrate.  
If you are not happy with the quality, could it be the subject matter?  Lots of particles or low light can cause issues for compression.  Can you post a few before and after frames here, it might help to shed light on the issue?
