Canvas & format
The canvas is the shape of the finished file. Pick it by where the video is going — it changes composition, not just crop.
| Canvas | Size | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Native portrait | The phone’s own size | Docs, changelogs, embeds, anywhere tall is fine. |
| Vertical | 1080 × 1920 (9:16) | Stories, Reels, TikTok, App Store previews. |
| Horizontal | 1920 × 1080 (16:9) | Landing pages, YouTube, decks, X posts. |
/reely Make it 9:16 for Stories.
What changes with the shape
- Vertical keeps the phone tall and centered, with canvas above and below for captions.
- Horizontal centers the portrait phone on a wide canvas and gives you real margin either side — which is where captions go, beside the phone rather than under it.
- Native is the recording’s own size with padding around it: the tightest crop, the least room for copy.
Deciding late is fine — the canvas is a re-render of the existing recording, not a re-shoot.
Making the same video twice
/reely Export this again as 16:9 for the landing page.
