I make movie character edits on tiktok using after effects. I realized that all of my edits are getting compressed a lot and therefor are lower quality. For example, when I export the video its usually around 70mb and has around 15k kbps bitrate. When i watch the video on my pc it looks really clean and top notch quality. After i upload my video, the quality gets really bad, its not unwatchable but its bad compared to some creators on tiktok. Here is an example of a video that looks really good and it maintained its quality after the compression (not mine) (if you can watch it on mobile because it's better quality that on pc):
- my video looks like this before the upload
I tried literally everything to maintain the same quality before the compression: I uploaded through my pc, my android phone, I even put a video on private and watched is 2 or 3 times before setting it to public, used the desktop app, decreased the file size, increased the file size and nothing. Some people have this "theory" that tiktok is doing less compression on the videos that are going viral and popular. Looking at this, that may be true.
What I'm really asking is if there is any way that i can maintain my quality when uploading or at least making the compression be less lethal, or should i just pray that one of my videos gets viral so it gets less compressed?
