![]() ![]() If you upload at the wrong aspect ratio then the social media platform will crop and or zoom your video. Just before you do that and if you are at all logical you will have figured something out about all of this that doesn’t make sense! So in the video below you can get a good idea of how to go about this in the simplest possible way so that you can be like all the cool kids and upload at 1:1. That means you will now have to get your 16:9 or 9:16 video into a 1:1 project…doh! So that all sounds very good until you get to the point of actually using that 1:1 project setting… because it’s video and it is NEVER straightforward!Ĭhances are that just about all of your footage is going to be shot at 16:9 aspect ratio or if you are holding a phone upright, at 9:16.īottom line is that no-one is going to be shooting at 1:1! With the 1:1 option that some platforms preferred it was all that easy to comply. Of course many of them would accept a 16:9 or even a 9:16 video but often that would result in strange cropping or adjustment of your original video. The reason for this addition to the existing aspect ratios of 16:9, 9:16 and 4:3 was that a number of social media platforms prefer this aspect ratio. When PowerDirector 18 was released a few weeks back one of the new features on offer was the ability to create 1:1 aspect ration videos.

New Features in Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 Underneath that one is Steve’s introduction to the new version of Adobe Premiere Elements. ![]() ![]() The series is probably a little too simple for anyone already working with PowerDirector but for an absolute newbie they are ideal. The first is Part One of an eight part series on how to get up and running with PowerDirector 18. Pretty quickly after the release he will produce a run through of the newer version plus a comprehensive series of video tutorials on using that software. The one time his channel does tend to shine is when a new version of a particular brand of software is released. He tends to cover a few different software products such as Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements and others but does not necessarily create relevant content to video editing all that often. One of those is Steve Grisetti at the Muvipix YouTube Channel. There are some others that I also track but I only occasionally add their content. The reason I do that is because those guys (and others on other subjects) are consistently creating tutorials and information in a way that is of value to someone wanting to learn or improve.
