In this video editing tutorial, I show you how I transform horizontal videos into vertical video content for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. I discuss the best shortcuts in Premiere Pro for quickly cropping your video to a 9x16 vertical aspect ratio, how to work with vertical footage in different resolutions, and my export settings to get the best looking vertical content possible. Hopefully this video helps you understand the pros and cons of filming vertically so that you can make the best decisions for your specific style of videography.
