Best Practices for Optimizing Short Unreal Engine Clips for TikTok

Hey everyone,

I’ve seen a lot of Unreal Engine creators sharing short clips of their environments, VFX, and animations on TikTok, and I’d like to try doing the same to showcase my work.

I’m wondering if anyone here has tips or workflows for optimizing short video clips specifically for TikTok’s format? For example:

  • Best practices for aspect ratios, resolution, or frame rates
  • Tips for keeping file sizes manageable without losing too much visual quality
  • Any in-engine settings or post-processing tricks to make clips stand out on mobile

I know Unreal Engine is powerful for rendering cinematic shots, but I’m not sure what adjustments are worth making for short-form mobile platforms.
