My video looks blurry after I post it
Compare the original download with the posted version before changing your project.
Start with the MP4 downloaded from lyrik. Compare it with the posted version before changing your project.
Compare the two versions
- Open the original MP4 on your device.
- Check the same frame and words in both versions.
- For a vertical post, use the 1080 × 1920 clip from your order. Avoid recording the preview or sending the file through an app that reduces its quality.
- Check the destination's available playback quality on a reliable connection.
- If the original is also blurry, note the style, resolution and timestamp when asking for help.
The studio preview can draw at a lower resolution on a less powerful device. Judge the finished file from the download.
YouTube processing
YouTube makes lower quality versions available first. HD and 4K can take longer to finish processing. Open the video's Settings, then Quality, to check which resolutions are ready. There is no fixed wait that works for every upload. See YouTube's quality guidance.
Instagram Reels and other apps
Meta describes making several resolutions and bitrates from uploaded videos for different devices and connections. The version played online may therefore differ from your original file. See Meta's explanation of Reels processing.
Use the original download and check the upload options available in your current app. Instagram's Reel quality help is the place to check current requirements. This guide does not promise a particular upload setting or processing time on Instagram or TikTok.
If the downloaded MP4 itself is wrong, contact us with the project link and timestamp.
