High format

[Timi]

Good day
I would like to make my video for Tiktok at shotcut in portrait format like here

[Elusien]

When you start your project select Video ModeNon-BroadcastVertical HD 60 (or 30)fps

Here is how I do it.

I set a video mode for it.

Here are the settings I use:

Then when I get ready to make the new project, I select the video mode:

…which I find in Custom…

@Elusien

When you start…

And, as usual, @Elusien has a better solution.

Hey then is it so

[kagsundaram]

I am running two Export jobs as a test; one using @Elusien’s method, the other using my usual method (both described above).

Here is what it looks like so far:

(This is a quick test; I did not take any of the necessary steps to change my editing to match the video mode.)

@kagsundaram

This is a quick test;

…and here is a framegrab from the first exported test video.

You have 2 options, either use the Size, Position, Rotate filter to stretch the video in the vertical direction, but everything will look terribly distorted; or use the Crop-Source filter to extract just the centre part of the video, discarding anything that is on the left and right sides of the video.

@Elusien

use the Size, Position, Rotate filter

As a test, I have used the SPR to move and crop the video; here is how it is going so far; as you can see, the final product is about a half-hour into the future.

The SPR filter (there are multiple ones running at once) has brought my CPU once again to its knees begging for mercy.

[Elusien]

Since the OP probably doesn’t need distortion the Crop-Source filter is a better bet, especially as it is much less of a CPU hog.

[kagsundaram]

@Elusien

Crop-Source filter is a better bet

Agreed.

SPR is simply my familiar workhorse.

@kagsundaram

As a test, … … as you can see, the final product…

[Timi]

i dont understand ist

[Elusien]

See the video below to show how to do it using the “Crop Source” video filter:
