One long video, several limits
Plan for the shortest limit
If you serve several platforms at once, orient yourself on the shortest limit – or pick a different section for each format.
A section of its own per format
FrameJet proposes the start up to the limit for each format and shows what is cut. You move the time window, or export uncut where there is no limit.
The Cover counts
A Cover sits before the video and uses up seconds of the allowed length; the preview accounts for it. More in the guide Preview image and Cover.
Very long recordings
Webinars and meetings exceed most limits. How to turn them into usable clips is covered in the guide Zoom and webinar recordings.
Bring your video to the right length
Upload the video, pick the section for each format and export every version at once.
Frequently asked questions
Which platform has the shortest limit?
Instagram Story at 60 seconds. The other lengths are in the table above.
Why is there no length for some platforms?
Where the platform confirms no limit, FrameJet names none. A number from secondary sources would be a guess, and limits change often.
Does FrameJet trim my video automatically?
It proposes the start up to the limit for each format and shows what is cut. You move the time window or export uncut.
