Common mistakes

Entering 8 in a Kbps field. CapCut desktop takes kilobits: 8 Mbps is 8000.
Uploading HDR (10-bit PQ/HLG) to LinkedIn. There is no published HDR path, so colours can look washed out; export SDR Rec. 709.
Leaving phone footage at a variable frame rate. Export at a constant 30 fps, or audio drifts and motion stutters after LinkedIn re-encodes it.
The custom bit rate is in Kbps, not Mbps: 16 Mbps is 16000.
Any Pro-tagged effect, sticker, font or sound in the project adds a watermark or blocks export unless you have Pro.

For comparison, YouTube publishes 8 Mbps for 1080p at 30 fps. Example length used for sizes: 1:30.
