My Video Won't Upload

Troubleshoot video upload failures: specs, format, and file size checks.

Updated this week

Having trouble uploading your creative to the Vibe platform? Check the following requirements.


Video specifications

Make sure your video file meets these requirements:

  • Aspect ratio: 16:9

  • Minimum resolution: 1280x720 (HD). 1920x1080 (Full HD) recommended.

  • Length: 5 to 90 seconds. Common slots are 15s and 30s.

  • File format: .mp4

  • File size: 500MB maximum

  • Frame rate: Must be constant; 23.98, 25, or 29.97 FPS

  • Bit rate: Greater or equal to 2,500 KBPS

If your file exceeds 90 seconds by even 1 second, it will not upload.


Audio specifications

  • Overall mix level: -10dB to -14dB

  • Dialogue: -12dB to -15dB

  • Music: -18dB to -22dB

  • Sound effects: -10dB to -20dB with occasional spikes up to -8dB


Common upload issues

  • Wrong aspect ratio: The video must be exactly 16:9. Vertical or square videos will be rejected.

  • File too large: Compress your video to stay under 500MB. Free tools: VEED.IO, VideoSmaller, VLC, or QuickTime Player.

  • Variable frame rate: Some phones record at variable frame rates. Re-export at a constant frame rate (29.97 FPS recommended).

  • Wrong format: Only .mp4 files are accepted. Convert from .mov, .avi, or other formats before uploading.
