By default, Vista Social processes all videos before publishing them to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. This happens due to fairly strict video specification rules by each of these platforms.
As users upload videos to schedule with Vista Social, our video processing helps make the process more seamless by auto adjusting the video to fit the necessary specs.

Disabling video processing
When uploading videos directly through native social platforms such as Instagram or TikTok, those platforms handle much of the video processing automatically. However, when publishing through a third-party tool like Vista Social, each network requires videos to meet precise technical specifications, which means some processing on our end is necessary.
In some cases, this processing may result in a slight reduction in video quality. If you notice this and have confirmed that your video meets the required specs, you can disable our processing entirely by navigating to Settings → Publishing Settings → Media Processing.
Disabling this option will bypass all Vista Social video processing, delivering your video to each network exactly as it was uploaded to your media library, completely untouched.
