Why Do My Twitter Videos Look Blurry?

Last weekend, I recorded a stunning travel video at a scenic mountain viewpoint. The light was perfect, the moment was special—so I edited the clip carefully and exported it in high resolution, ready to share on Twitter.

But once uploaded, the quality dropped a lot. The video became noticeably blurry, with dull colors and blocky artifacts.

Now I’m wondering:

  • Is Twitter more aggressive with compression when it detects noise or low-light footage?
  • Would pre-processing the video (e.g., removing noise, enhancing detail) help avoid this?
  • Has anyone tried AI tools like HitPaw VikPea to upscale videos before uploading?
