Bitrate for Instagram Reels
Rabs Podvan
When I publish through Metricool (I wish I could just publish from here!), I get this error in my email:
Instagram has not allowed us to publish your post, we have tried several times. The reason it has given us is
The video format is not supported. Please check spec for supported CodedException format
I reached out to your support chat (who were fantastic) and they told me it's because Instagram Reels (through API) must be:
- Audio bit rate: 128kbps
- Video bit rate: VBR, 25Mbps max.
I can upload these videos made in Descript onto Instagram directly, but not through a 3rd party social media scheduler.
I looked at the export settings, and "High" gives me 31Mbps (too high) and "Medium" gives 19.58Mbps. Is there a way to set the Medium export value to 25Mbps? Or would I not even notice the difference between 19 and 25?
Thanks so much!

YES! To upload my radio show to Audioport I need to export it in a constant bit rate, which currently means I have to export out of Descript, import to Audacity and export from there in constant bit rate. Please allow us to set the bit rate for audio export!
