yan402answered grow question 1mo ago it’s not you, GD just messes with video uploads. It auto-adjusts brightness/contrast during compression, so plants end up looking lighter than they really are.
On your phone it looks normal, but once it’s on the site, the colors get flattened a bit. HDR or high-res videos can make it worse sometimes.
You don’t need to lower the resolution, just maybe avoid HDR and keep it to 1080p max. Nothing you’re doing wrong, it’s just how GD handles video files.
