Hi Danilyn22 -

Unfortunately, I think the findings posted in this thread are still true... having just done a quick test to confirm.

We passed this on to CyberLink and they are investigating. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Hi PDM -

I think the issue is definitely related to the aspect ratio/orientation/rotation tags in the exif data.

Comparing the successful & failed uploads to IGTV, there are significant differences... outlined in the attached PDF.

I did watch a few YT videos where the authors recommend that one record video in the portrait mode to be able to load to IGTV. I just checked the mediainfo on one raw original vertical video from a Samsung cell phone and it is 16:9 Rotation 90 degrees. See the attached. Need feedback from IGTV users if recorded vertical video they uploaded has the 90 degrees rotation flag like the ones from PD17. Below is what happen when I try to upload the above original video to Instagram.

Your video doesn't meet requirements. Learn More
Video must be vertical. 9:16 aspect ratio is best.

This can mean that certain brands of phone do record 1080 x 1920 resolution without the orientation flag. Would like to know which phones are successful in uploading vertical video to IGTV.

You're right tomasc -

Case in point: 9:16 videos straight from any of the iPhones I've had, up to iPhone X, are read by MediaInfo as being:

Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Rotation : 90°

They all upload to IGTV successfully.

One I just tested from Goole Pixel 2, which also works for IGTV, is interpreted by MediaInfo as being:

Width : 720 pixels
Height : 1 280 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 0.563 (with no note about rotation)

That's reflected in ExifTool. iPhone clips say "Rotation: 90°" Pixel2 clips say: "Rotation: 0°"

I haven't tested other clips straight off phones 'cos I don't have any. Nothing like a bit of inconsistency to muddy the waters.

Further to the above:

9:16 videos from Samsung Galaxy S8 (so one assumes other Samsung phones) upload to IGTV correctly.

In MediaInfo, they look just like iPhone clips... & 9:16 videos produced by PDR (???)

Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Rotation : 90°

Also tested a clip from DSLR Sony RX10iii (camera turned 90°. After editing the rotation data, it uploaded correctly to IGTV.

I have no trouble loading clips from my Galaxy S8 or any clip I've produced with PD17 using the standard H.264 30p MP4 profile or a custom HD H.264 60p MP4 profile. Vertical and horizontal vids both work.

Are you sure you're meeting all of the guidelines? I tried some clips under 15 seconds and all were rejected. So were 3D and 1:1 aspect ratio clips. However, I could upload shorter clips and 1:1 AP in a regular post.

These are my usual settings that i upload with didn't change anything :

Sounds like something you may need to work out with IG support. You can try downloading this clip and see if you can get IGTV to accept it. I can upload it to the website using Edge and from the app on my Samsung Galaxy S8 without any issues.

If you want me to see if I can upload one of your clips, upload a copy to a cloud folder and paste the link here. I won't publish it, I'll only see if i get the same error when trying to upload it. Both of these steps should at least tell us if the problem is with the clips themselves or something else.

Thanks for sharing this clip! On my end everything works normally:



This brings up two possibilities. One is that Google Photos reencoded your video so it now works on IGTV. You can easily test that by downloading the clip you shared and see it that works when you upload it.

The other possibility is that there's some kind of access restriction where you are that's affecting all your devices. You might want to try a VPN connection to IGTV.

I tried vpn connection and it uploaded fine wow,, how do i fix the restriction?

Tried another new upload with vpn failed.

I honestly don't know what to tell you, other than I don't think that PowerDirector is the reason why you're having touble with your videos posting.

I would hope that somebody from IG customer service/tech support would be able to give you more info on what's happening with your specific videos.

Of course not powerdirector is the issue,, i think i will change device or ask a technician in my area,, it surprised me when it upload through vpn,, above all thank you so much for replying and helping wish you all the best brother.

Hi optodata -

I am intrigued by your statement:

I have no trouble loading clips from my Galaxy S8 or any clip I've produced with PD17 using the standard H.264 30p MP4 profile or a custom HD H.264 60p MP4 profile. Vertical and horizontal vids both work.

I am unable to make the same statement

Any 9:16 video I've attempted to upload to IGTV that's been processed by PDR17 fails.

Case in point: The video linked above... I downloaded it from your OneDrive and uploaded it to IGTV successfully. BUT - after running iot through PDR, using a standard profile selected by profile analyser, the upload FAILS to post. I've tried using Chrome, Edge & Firefox without success.

Should i change my phone? Or its just the re encoding?

Hi Tony. The clip in my OneDrive folder is a screen capture that was produced by PD. The clip shown in your post is Moses' problematic clip from his Google Photos drive.

Also, there seem to be two different problems going on. The first is that the video can't be uploaded at all (which was actually the only thing I tested when I made my earlier statement that I had no problems), and the second is that the video can be uploaded but fails to post.

I created a test project in PD17 and produced 3 versions of the pool fishing vid using the Best Matched profile: QuickSync, CPU-only, and nVidia. You can download the PDS file and all 4 clips from here.

I tried uploading and posting with these 4 clips, and while Edge had no problems uploading the clips, including the original version, none would post. I always got this error message:



In fact, I couldn't get any clips to actually post using Edge today. I was able to upload clips straight from my Galaxy S8, an iPhone clip, and the screen recording from my OneDrive folder, but all gave me the above message.

I then tried uploading and posting using the app, and all 4 vids uploaded and posted sucessfully, although the original version and the CPU-produced version are clearly stretched:




So from my testing, it seems that how the videos are produced by PD may cause some problems with how they look on IGTV (using any hardware acceleration works best), and using PD didn't affect whether the clips could be posted or not, at least by the app.

One thing I saw after searching online was perhaps uploading though Facebook was an option, and also that logging out of FB might do the trick. I don't have a FB account so all of this was strictly my IG account.
