I'd like to try and convert it using FFMPEG on this ubuntu workstation to the parameters above. The problem seems to be a combination of instagram hating my video format and the file being too large to upload in a reasonable time frame. This seems to sort of work, but the file upload never seems to complete, and this approach completely fails to make use of my high speed internet connection, averaging a paltry 3.5 Mbit/second or so.Īccording to this adobe page, one should use these parameters if you want to get the video into instagram: I tried to share the video from Files and chose instagram. When I download to my phone using the WeTransfer link he sent me, it ends up in the Files folder and, curiously, i when i try to play it there, i can hear the audio but not see the video. Sadly, I can't seem to get the video into my Photos app.

I have tried uploading this video using the instagram app using my phone. If I visit instagram in my desktop browser (ubuntu using latest firefox), I can browse for the video, I can choose it, but when I click OK, instagram simply ignores the video I've chosen, and the prompt to choose a video just stays the same. My goal is to post this video on instagram, which refuses to let me select it with a desktop browser. The file he exported is a 1.3GB MOV file, and appears to use the Apple ProRes codec in a quicktime container (I have no idea what this means). My colleague made a really nice video to hype my record release.
