1080p is plenty for Reddit's player — extra resolution is discarded anyway.
MP4 H.264 uploads are processed most reliably by Reddit.
If the post keeps failing, aim for a smaller target size and retry.
Questions
Why does Reddit fail to process my video?
Very large or unusually encoded files are more likely to fail. A moderate-size H.264 MP4 processes most reliably.
Does Reddit reduce my video quality?
Yes, Reddit re-encodes uploads for streaming. Starting from a clean compressed MP4 avoids double-degrading the result.
