Common mistakes
- Exporting a 16:9 timeline for ShareChat. Build the edit at 1080 x 1920 (9:16) from the start, or ShareChat adds bars or crops your edges.
- Expecting InShot to hit ShareChat's size limit. It has no bitrate field, so export a high-quality master and compress it with HandBrake at 6282 kbps.
- Uploading HDR (10-bit PQ/HLG) to ShareChat. There is no published HDR path, so colours can look washed out; export SDR Rec. 709.
- InShot does not publish an export help page and offers no bitrate number. For a strict size cap, compress the result with HandBrake.
- Every re-export adds compression. Export once from the original clips.
For comparison, YouTube publishes 8 Mbps for 1080p at 30 fps. Example length used for sizes: 1:00.
