Short answer: For crisp results, match your timeline and export, use H.264 MP4, and set smart bitrates. Start with 8–12 Mbps (1080p) for YouTube and 6–10 Mbps (WhatsApp/Reels). Turn on hardware encoding if your laptop supports it.
What are the best Filmora export settings for YouTube?
Use these reliable presets:
- Resolution & FPS: 1920×1080 at 30 fps (or 60 fps if your footage is 60).
- Codec & Container: H.264 MP4.
- Bitrate (CBR/VBR): 8–12 Mbps for 1080p; 35–45 Mbps for 4K.
- Keyframe interval: 2 seconds.
- Audio: AAC, 48 kHz, 192 kbps.
- Hardware encoding: On (NVENC/Intel/AMD) for faster exports.
Tip: Keep your timeline 1080p if your clips are 1080p. Avoid upscaling; YouTube will compress needlessly.

How to export small-size, clear videos for WhatsApp
WhatsApp compresses heavily. Feed it a clean file:
- Portrait Reels: 1080×1920, 30 fps, 6–10 Mbps, AAC 128–160 kbps.
- Landscape lessons: 1280×720 or 1920×1080, 4–8 Mbps.
- Caption clarity: High-contrast fonts (white with outline), avoid scaling text layers.
- Don’t upscale: Keep 720p projects at 720p; scaling up makes text soft.
If file is still big, reduce bitrate slightly (e.g., 8 → 6 Mbps) or re-export 720p for quick sharing.

Why do uploads look blurry after YouTube/Instagram compression?
- Mismatched settings: Timeline 720p, export 1080p → softness. Match both.
- Low bitrates: Too small for detailed scenes (fast motion, tiny text).
- Heavy filters on export: Apply LUTs/effects in the timeline, not at export.
- Thin fonts: Use thicker fonts and outlines for mobile screens.
Quick fix: Export a higher bitrate master, then let platforms compress from a strong source.
