9:16 VIDEO GUIDE
9:16 Video Maker
A 9:16 video maker is designed around vertical viewing from the start. That matters because layout decisions that work on a widescreen monitor do not automatically work on a phone held upright.

Build directly on a 9:16 canvas instead of converting at the end. Arrange the background, floating video and text while you can see the full vertical frame.
What does 9:16 mean?
A 9:16 aspect ratio is nine units wide for every sixteen units tall. A common output size is 1080 × 1920 pixels.
Design for vertical space
Use the upper, middle and lower parts of the frame intentionally. A floating video can sit high or low depending on where the background has usable space.
KIPZO tip: Build the complete 9:16 layout visually before recording. It is easier to spot video-size, text-position and background problems before you capture the final Short.
Keep text within a safe area
Text near the extreme top or bottom can compete with platform interface controls. Keep important words comfortably inside the frame.
Use fit and fill deliberately
Fit keeps the full source visible but may leave empty space. Fill uses the whole media window but may crop the source.
