Viral Video Platform Specifications
Use this skill to choose export settings for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, Snapchat Spotlight, Twitter/X, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and mobile-browser playback. This SKILL is a lean orchestrator; detailed platform tables, commands, and recipes are preserved in references/platform-details-and-recipes.md.

Adjust loudness, duration, bitrate, and metadata per platform from the reference file.
Core Workflow
- Verify
ffmpeg -version; prefer current stable builds for security and codec fixes. - Identify target platform(s) and whether the video is native-app upload or mobile-browser playback.
- Normalize to vertical 9:16 unless the platform or campaign calls for square/horizontal.
- Use H.264/AAC for the broadest acceptance. Use VP9 only when intentionally targeting YouTube/WebM.
- Apply platform loudness targets: TikTok/Reels often around -10 to -12 LUFS; YouTube around -14 LUFS; Facebook around -13 LUFS.
- Keep
-pix_fmt yuv420pand-movflags +faststartfor compatibility. - Verify output with
ffprobebefore upload.
Key Gotchas
- All major social platforms re-encode uploads; high-quality H.264 is usually a better upload source than HEVC/AV1 for social delivery.
- For web/mobile-browser playback, profile/level,
yuv420p, and faststart matter more than platform upload limits. - Keep captions and UI out of unsafe top/bottom regions, especially lower 35% on Reels-style interfaces.
- Two-pass bitrate control is useful when a platform file-size ceiling is strict.
