Choose your aspect ratio
Pick 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 or 4:3 before you record and skip cropping later.
By the end you will have: Video already shaped for the platform you're posting to.
Steps
- 1
Pick the platform first
Reels, Shorts and TikTok want 9:16; YouTube wants 16:9.
- 2
Select the ratio
A live frame guide shows exactly what will be captured.
- 3
Check your headroom
Leave a little space above your head, not a lot.
- 4
Record
The export matches the frame you saw, edge for edge.
Tips
4:5 is the safest single choice for mixed feed posting.
Keep captions and text away from the bottom fifth — platform UI sits there.
