FFMPEG mp4 encode incompatible with Instagram

[jonobr1]

For some reason when I try to upload the mp4 into Instagram I get a "It is not possible to use this video". Works fine for Twitter though 🤔 Maybe there's some additional meta data that needs to be added?

Hmm that’s odd - what OS and ffmpeg version? Are you using the canvas-sketch-mp4 command? In my case I haven’t run into any issues uploading to Instagram so far through the iOS app.

Ah, maybe it's Android then. I uploaded to Instagram with Android, but built with the canvas-sketch-mp4 command. I think my ffmpeg is up-to-date:

Is max dimension under 1080? If so maybe there is some bitrate or FPS requirement on Android. Did you try the --fps=24 flag of the CLI? (You should re export frame sequence with matching canvas sketch setting as well)

Ah got it, got it. Yeah that must be it. I exported at 30FPS. Thanks! I'm going to make some slight modifications to Two.js so it plays a bit nicer with canvas-sketch and then I'll add a PR for a Two.js example. Awesome stuff dude!

Sounds cool! Make sure to give the hot reloading a spin as well... 😄 it might be a bit buggy with regular libs if you do any side effects on creation.
