Common mistakes
- 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.
- Export resolution is capped by the device.
- If an export fails, try a different destination such as Files, or consolidate the project first.
For comparison, YouTube publishes 8 Mbps for 1080p at 30 fps. Example length used for sizes: 1:30.
