Do you need to convert to vertical, square, or horizontal video? I'll show you how! Many social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook accept vertical and square videos.

this was SO HELPFUL. you're like the only person who actually showed how to do it from start (upload video) to finish

[@WebGuru]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment!

[@mirandaricky9]

This is absolutely wonderful! I have been looking for this video for hours now and as others may have said, you are the only one to thoroughly explain how to convert 9:16 to 16:9. You deserve a like and subscribe my good sir!

[@WebGuru]

Thanks @Ricky! I appreciate the comment :)

[@cocoon7014]

Seconded!

[@NewYorkNadia]

I have both landscape and portrait images; is there a way to keep the ratios of each but combine them in one video? Thx!

[@changethegamectg]

this didnt help

[@WebGuru]

Perhaps another video can help you.

[@NgiamTeeEe]

Why I cant press the sequence setting button ?

[@WebGuru]

You can also try this: Click inside the Timeline, go to the top menu bar and choose Sequence > Sequence Settings and that might work for you.

[@manwiththestar2305]

Is there a name for the annoying blurred background video that is added when landscaping from portrait? Its done automatically by some programs and I dont like it and want to find the setting for it so there must be a name for it. Firefox seems to have added this feature in a new update and i want to shut it off. Anyone know the name of that backround effect?

[@WebGuru]

I don't know if there is a name for it.

[@synthesizerisking2886]

No why import & export, need to just hit a button and rotate to landscape on iPad Air 2

[@WebGuru]

That is not possible.

[@synthesizerisking2886]

@@WebGuru oh that was supposed to be "wish there was a button"

[@christophervela5447]

How to enlarge vertical to straight landscape or horizontal? Not helpful using blur.

[@WebGuru]

Increase the SCALE until the video fills the screen. However, the top and bottom will get cropped.

[@milkcoffee-h8g]

This is what I've been looking for, thank you for this tutorial

[@WebGuru]

Glad to hear it @hobi !

[@superbgadgets5093]

I tried the way you said but my options are not visible there..I can't change the frame size

That is strange. Try unlocking them.

[@AlysaCalvarese]

Thank you so much! I thought my footage was no good at first because I couldn’t figure how to fix.

Am I just very confused or does this not work anymore in 2022?

[@WebGuru]

@Blooable should still work!

[@lilvin3610]

uhm, this does not work for me? when I change the size in the sequence settings nothing happens...

[@WebGuru]

Try again. Make sure you are changing the right sequence.

[@WebGuru]

Thank you too

[@distritodisfruta8201]

Very helpful video, however I think the question most people would come here is: how to COMBINE both, either videos or photos into the same video or sequence settings?. The way to get there is typing the key word: Combine.. You're welcome :)

[@WebGuru]

Great suggestion!

[@rushalishukla1389]

[@StorytellerThaker_presents]

Please help: I'd like to combine landscape and portrait videos in their original orientation.

[@ludwigfan3013]

Why can't I just make a portrait video widescreen without the blurred effect on both ends? There's too many tutorial videos that show the exact same thing!

[@WebGuru]

@Ludwig. This is possible by SCALING your video up to around 200%. However the top and bottom of the video will get CROPPED. This might cut off a person's head or body. That is why people use these other techniques.

[@tbone8723]

Thank you, clear and concise instructions - immensely helpful!

[@WebGuru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wisbordenmilce3423]

[@josueoropeza]

Do you have the tutorial video for Final Cut Pro X?

[@Didaniel123]

Hi, i did this and it looks great when doing a blurred background layer behind an iphone screen record footage. But when i try to play it as a video on premier pro, the background video keeps cutting and crackling like the olden films - what am i doing wrong?!

[@WebGuru]

Your computer might be too slow to keep up with the footage. Export it and then watch the exported file.

[@Didaniel123]

@@WebGuru yeah it’s the same when exported too. The footage is not 4k or anything major but even when i exported it, it was still the same?

[@tauheeds12]

Very helpful tutorial my friend, Keep shining

[@WebGuru]

Thanks, and I will :)

[@scmleader5014]

hey tried the same thing but when i converted portrait to landscape it just smallend the video and added black boxes in all direction up down side and side

[@WebGuru]

You may have to change Scale of video (In Effect Controls panel) and fill in black boxes with something if you want. My video shows how.

[@slightlygruff]

But can I film the video with my phone in such a way that it's already horizontal?

[@WebGuru]

Yes, rotate your phone so that it's horizontal. Then the video should become horizontal.

[@GurpreetSingh-ep5jx]

Superb 👌👍

[@WebGuru]

Thanks 🤗

[@DjayT.]

Is it possible on the phone?

[@WebGuru]

Normally you can rotate your phone to switch from vertical/horizontal video.

[@DjayT.]

@@WebGuru yeah but like not on full screen. I can just watch videos vertical on full screen and some specific ones on KZbin that were probably recorded from their phone horizontal

Hi there Great Video, thank you! Is there a Way to automate the process? So if I change the vertical Video, that the effect remains with the new clip? I want to do this effect for many Videos in my timeline.. Thank you!

[@WebGuru]

Hi @Roger, You can't fully automate the process but to speed it up: Edit > Copy the first clip you did, then select another clip and choose Edit > Paste Attributes and you'll be able to copy all the scaling, positioning, effects etc.

Hi My videos work horizontally or vertically cuz I shoot them from above But when I edit and add extra photos and text, it seems hard to convert every thing from vertical (for IG) to horizontal (for KZbin) is there an easier way to do that? It is easy to rotate the video, but currently I have to rotate every text.. Thx

[@WebGuru]

Nest everything, and then rotate the nest. It may work!

[@mizzi1903]

@@WebGuru I guess it won't come out as I want it . Say there is a small box of a reference video within our main video, that little box will rotate wrongly I hope I delivered the idea correctly
