The Socialive Editor supports making videos in vertical aspect ratios. The video aspect ratio determines how the video frame appears on different screens. Common ratios like 4:5 and 16:9 cater to different display preferences and provide varying fields of view. Vertical aspect ratios are ideal to use on content for social. They maximize the screen real estate available when the viewer is consuming content on mobile.
With the Socialive Editor, it’s easy to generate different aspect ratios of the same video content for different destination platforms.
In this article, we will review the steps to set the aspect ratio.
