Publer for the same video now... I need to test it with mp4 instead of mov like I said I would before. And check my file size since these tools might not be doing any compression.

Testing an upload of tall grass again to see what happens with the compression. And hopefully this will look less pixelated and is what "fixed video quality on the web" meant. 😎 Uploading via web browser and not iphone app.

I ended up with rate limit exceeded for the first time in awhile. I probably should have tested with this account instead AND I clearly need an alt account or two for me as a person.

Finding it interesting that using different tools gets you different shaped video posts of the same content. One platform renders as a square, another as a landscape oriented rectangle when in fact the file (and when opened full screen) is portrait oriented rectangle.

Agency type stuff I'll be reviewing too. Some of these components are about being caught off-guard by pricing as things scale. Adding a client with 3 staff that also provide feedback can get too costly in some situations. Working with contractors can get costly in other situations.
Screen shot of a spreadsheet that says:
- 1 biz or Multi? (Agency ready)
- cost per user?
- guests? (clients commenter accounts & free)
- Max # social profiles on the largest account
- Allows more than one account (facebook tested) with a comment popup note from Hilary that says "In case I want to create an account per client OR manage a client that already had an account before coming to me."

Fedica is a little different from the rest when it comes to Queue and reposting options. PowerSchedule is your Queue equivalent. Pipeline is easier to share their video: www.youtube.com/watc...
Pipeline
• Regular evergreen content
• Separate streams of posts
• Dedicated Pipelines optimized per geography and region so that your content is viewed when your followers are online
• Setting separate streams of posts by content type (e.g. posts about you vs. posts about your industry) into distinct Pipelines. This will give you control and flexibility.
• You define Posts per day
• We decide the optimal days and hours.

PowerSchedule
• Exact date, optimal hour
• Send posts when your followers are online
• Exact time is not a key consideration
• You define date
• We decide the optimal hour.

PowerSchedule (Exact Time)
• Exact date and hour
• When exact time is necessary, e.g. product launch, press announcement, event at specific time
• You define date
• You define the hour.Posts Calendar - Setup Instructions

Postpone app analytics. Missed this one earlier. A couple of data points (reposts and quote posts) seem inaccurate to me at the moment on this account. Though I have to wonder if since they are more recent posts I'm looking for if the influx affected that.

If anyone wants to know why I keep testing SMM tools & what my goals are: I have no control over when Meta/Facebook will error out on any tool. It’s already happened to one, it’s my account alone, not the tool, & Meta has ZERO customer support at this point. Options & backups on backups.
Screen shot of a facebook error. URL is Facebook’s Oauth url. Meta logo in the left with a connection symbol and a blurred out logo for a certain tool.

“Could not link <blurred out tool name> to Facebook.
You my not be connected to the network or we could not establish a connection with out server. Check your connection and try again later.”

Months of this message. Not a caching issue. Jumped through a lot of troubleshooting with the SMM tool’s devs. Both of us submitted customer support tickets months ago with Meta and no response.
