    Hi all,
    I'm really enjoying a lot about Unity Recorder, but I'm not happy with the H.264 MP4 output quality. I would really like to be able to upload short (<30s), high quality clips to Twitter. But I can only get Twitter to accept the MP4 files, not ProRes Quicktime or WebM. Has anyone found a good workflow for this? I would like to avoid external tools, but I'm not sure that is possible.

    I'd love to know this too if someone has figured it out.

    To me, there are two approaches with different pros/cons
    1. Gif, which auto-plays, and is limited to 5MB on mobile and 15MB on PC. So really 5MB.
    2. Video, where auto-play is a user choice, and is limited to 2 minutes and 20 seconds, and 512MB
    My preference is to use GIF for the tweet to grab interest, and then provide a link to a full video on your favorite video sharing site for higher quality and less restrictions

    Yeah, I think my plan is just link to youtube at this point. Never got anything working with twitter that I consistently liked.
    I think you might be right, use something small on a tweet to get interest.
