Upload ruins video quality

Not a growing related question. Whenever I record videos on my iPhone 11pro and then upload them to the platform they become super blurry and pixelated. I am recording in 4K with 60 fps. Thought maybe someone else encountered this issue.

I have this same effect with my Iphone 8. and its not in 4k. its 1080p at 30fps. I think it might have sometime to do with the shit cable I use but I do not have any other ones to try it out on. Any time I drag and drop the video files from my Iphone to my computer they come out all glitchy with artifacts obscuring the feed. The only work aorund I have found is this: Download the program called "IBV" iBackupviewer, it lets you explore your iphone backup that iTunes makes on the computer. iTunes backs the video files up without glitches or artifacts and in a different format vs when your drag and drop from the phone itself, maybe it uses check sums and corrects errors IDK? Once the backup is complete, close iTunes and launch IBV, navigate to photos and highlight the ones you want, max 9 at a time for free version, then extract them all, extract multiple times if need for over 9 photos/videos to a folder on your desktop and then try and upload the file from there. Please Note, if you extract photos from IBV will be in a different format called .HEIC and videos in .MOV, you can covert HEIC to JPEG/JPG/GIF easily and lower the size of the file substantially, and you can also convent MOV to mp4 and do the same thing. I use Gimp Photo editor and Openshot video editor to add in effects like watermarks or convert the files into lower quality so it does not take forever to upload to grow diaries. Good Luck, hopefully this fix works for you as it did for me. Hit me up in the DM and we can trouble shoot this a bit more if your still having issues.

I actually think that it is related to the file type, as it doesn’t really matter which quality I upload. They all look like crap:( guess gotta do the extra step and convert the files.

Why in the world are you recording a plant in 4k and 60fps??? That is massive overkill and creates HUGE files. Your video's are getting massively compressed so they can be downloaded reasonably quick and don't take so much bandwidth. You will probably get better results if you produce a reasonably sized video file and upload it. That way the compression, resolution and frame rate are under your control instead of relying on the online algorithm that just crunches hard and makes crappy movies.
