Downloading videos to my iphone through dropbox that I edited on my computer not working.

Whenever I try to save a video to my iphone from Dropbox i get this error message. 

"Sorry this video cannot be saved to this device"
It's just some 20-40s clips each under 100mg from footage I captured on my iPhone that I edited in Premeire Pro
I exported the videos from Premiere Pro using H.264 with the Match Source - High Bitrate preset. 
I've tried all the things Dropbox reccomends, is this a Premiere isssue?

Correct answer noahweyenberg

Nope.


Contacted an actual Adobe representative. Not a phone issue. You gotta change the export formatting setting to HEVC (H.265) with the High Bitrate preset.

I doubt this. Make sure you export with settings compatible with the iphone.

What would that be? I thought the settings I had were iPhone compatable as that has been my workflow for months now.

You have to start somewhere.

This a phone issue not a Premiere one.


Do you at least know what settings I should try to use to get it to be compatible with my iPhone?
