A preset for Whatsapp would be beneficial

Post by Windar »

I just had a really hard time trying to make a video for whatsapp. The video was never compatible with whatsapp. I tried to lower the framerate to 30 and to choose a widely accepted resolution, but nothing helped.
Finally I found out x265 (like I compress it) is not supported.

I would really appreciate a preset for whatsapp, so I dont have to guess whats supported by whatsapp and what not.
Actually now I know already, but I'm pretty sure many users run or will run in the same problem. I mean this whatsapp thing is really big. ;)

I would guess the Web presets would be a good start, whether WhatsApp should get it's own is up to the devs.

You could find out the requirements for WhatsApp videos then do a feature request on GitHub.

A forum post is probably the most I'm willing to contribute.
Take it or leave it. ;)
