Share DJI Videos Without Blurry App Compression

Pre‑compress to predictable sizes that look great on phones and always send successfully.

Targets that Pass

  • 1080p30: 5–8 Mbps for tiny files with clean detail
  • 4K30 short clips: 12–20 Mbps when you want max clarity
  • Keep under common caps (e.g., 25–100 MB) for reliability

Workflow

  1. Trim highlights to 10–20 seconds when possible.
  2. Run HEVCut with the targets above; preview on your phone.
  3. Send via Messages/WhatsApp or share an iCloud link for originals.

What If It Still Looks Blurry?

Many messaging apps re‑encode whatever you send. If your contact opens the video in a data‑saving mode, it may stream at a lower resolution. The fix is to control the encode before sending and keep the duration short. For important clips, send an iCloud or Files link so recipients can download the original HEVC file at full quality.

Audio, Orientation, and Captions

  • Stick to AAC stereo at 48 kHz for universal playback.
  • Lock orientation before recording; vertical crops are fine, but avoid mid‑shot rotations.
  • Add captions in your editor; text compresses well and boosts engagement.

With a bit of planning and a quick HEVCut pass, you’ll consistently hit size limits while keeping your DJI footage sharp and punchy on any phone.
