Common mistakes
- Entering 8 in a Kbps field. Filmora 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.
- Exports from the free plan carry a Filmora watermark.
- HDR export colour space is greyed out when GPU acceleration is off.
For comparison, YouTube publishes 8 Mbps for 1080p at 30 fps. Example length used for sizes: 1:30.
