Instagram re-encodes aggressively, so a balanced preset is usually enough.
Trim to the moment you actually want to post before compressing.
Questions
Why does my Instagram upload look blurry?
Instagram re-encodes every video. Uploading a clean, sharp MP4 at 1080p vertical gives its encoder the best starting point.
Which format works best for Instagram?
MP4 with H.264 and AAC is the most compatible choice for Reels, Stories, and posts.
