X presents a unique challenge when it comes to uploading high-quality videos. Here's a detailed guide to navigate their limitations and optimize your video for the platform.

The steps will start with a 4K video, we'll compress it using hdstatus.site then upload it to X.

Understanding X's Video Limits:

Maximum Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels (1080p)

Maximum File Size: Varies depending on video length:

a) Under 60 seconds: 512 MB

b) 60-140 seconds: 512 MB

c) 140-10 minutes (Live videos only): 2 GB

Frame Rate: Up to 60 FPS is supported (but not recommended)

Important Note: Unlike other platforms, X prioritizes fast loading times. This means they aggressively compress uploaded videos, often leading to significant quality loss.

Optimizing for X Upload:

Before diving into how we can compress our video for maximum Quality here are some measures you can use first:

Reduce Video Length: Shorter videos are less likely to be compressed heavily by X. Aim for videos under 2 minutes for the best quality.

Lower Frame Rate: While X supports 60 FPS, it's not recommended. Use 30 FPS instead. This reduces file size without sacrificing much visual quality.

Edit for File Size: Use video editing software to trim unnecessary portions and optimize the video for web playback.

Choose the Right Format: X recommends MP4 videos for optimal compatibility. Avoid using other formats like AVI or MOV.

Compressing our video with HDstatus:

Head to hdstatus.site. Look for a button written "Choose File" and Select the high-quality video you want to upload for X. (Max upload is 1GB)

Uploading a 4K(UHD) or better video is recommended since it will provide better results after compression.

After compression is done download the video and save it to your files.

Uploading to X

Open X:Launch the X app or website and navigate to where you want to create a tweet with your video.

Select the Compressed Video: Choose the video you just downloaded from HDstatus from your phone's camera roll or gallery.

Beware of Additional Compression: X might still compress the video slightly during upload. There's no built-in setting to prioritize quality over speed.

Conclusion

Start with a High-Quality Source: The better the quality of your original video, the better it will look even after compression.

Remember, achieving the absolute highest quality on X can be challenging due to their focus on fast loading. However, by following these steps and optimizing your video beforehand, you can significantly improve the quality viewers experience.
