Intro to Vertical Videos

Learn to make the right decisions for shooting videos to ensure they will work in a vertical or portrait setting.

- Have an understanding of the larger goal at hand. For example, will the video be vertical only once published? Use these foresights to inform your shooting decisions.
- Shoot in 4K wide if your video will be shown in multiple aspect ratios; more pixels = more flexibility. This will provide more cropping options in the editing room.


Shooting Vertical Videos
