01 / IN PRACTICEThe editing process
The editing process
matters as much as the result.
Several aspect ratios
Reposition content for landscape, portrait, and square projects.
Crop and position together
Adjust zoom and position together to control empty space and cutoffs precisely.
Portrait interviews
Reframe it for the vertical screen.
Simply cutting the center from a landscape scene may not be enough. Reposition it so the speaker’s face and hands and the object you want to show stay inside the frame.

Social posts
One shoot, multiple channels.
A landscape video that captures the whole atmosphere needs a different composition from a portrait video that brings the subject closer. Choose the output ratio first, then place video and captions inside it.

03 / GOOD TO KNOW
Check before you edit.

What should I check before using it?
