If your video is experiencing issues such as:
❌ Audio and captions out of sync
❌ Washed-out or faded colors
❌ Export errors
❌ Media validation errors
❌ Playback inconsistencies
The most common cause is non-standard video encoding or unsupported codec settings.
Minvo works best with industry-standard formats. Below is everything you need to ensure full compatibility.
✅ Recommended Video Settings for Minvo
To avoid issues, always export your videos using the following settings:
Format: MP4
Video Codec: H.264 (libx264 recommended)
Audio Codec: AAC
Frame Rate: 24 FPS, 30 FPS, or 60 FPS
These are universal web-safe standards and ensure smooth processing inside Minvo.
🔍 How to Fix Compatibility Issues
1️⃣ Re-Export the Video with Standard Encoding (Recommended)
Action:
Re-export your video using the following settings:
MP4 format
H.264 codec
AAC audio
24, 30, or 60 FPS
Why:
Non-standard codecs (like mp4v) can cause sync issues, rendering errors, and visual glitches during processing.
2️⃣ Check Your Video Codec
Action:
Check the codec of the file you uploaded:
If the codec shows as "mp4v", re-export using "libx264" or "h264".
Why:
mp4v is less commonly supported in web-based video processors and can create processing inconsistencies in Minvo.
3️⃣ Use a Video Converter (If You Can’t Re-Export)
If you no longer have access to your original editing software, convert your file using one of these tools:
HandBrake (Windows & Mac)
Adobe Media Encoder
FFmpeg
Action:
Convert your file to:
MP4
H.264 encoding (libx264)
AAC audio
Then re-upload it to Minvo.
Why:
Converting standardizes the encoding and prevents rendering or caption sync issues.
🎨 Important: Disable HDR Before Recording
Minvo currently works best with standard color profiles (SDR).
⚠️ Why HDR Can Cause Problems
When High Dynamic Range (HDR) is enabled:
The color encoding changes.
Videos may appear washed out, faded, or less vibrant after processing.
Contrast and brightness may look incorrect.
✅ Action:
Before recording content that will be uploaded to Minvo:
Disable HDR in your camera or device settings.
Record in standard dynamic range (SDR).
Why:
This ensures your video retains its intended color quality and visual appeal.
💡 Pro Tips for Smooth Processing
Avoid variable frame rates (VFR) if possible — use constant frame rate (CFR).
Keep files under extremely high bitrates unless necessary.
If you're unsure, export using a “Web” or “YouTube 1080p” preset in your editing software.
