Can the floating video be any size?
It can be resized across a wide range, from picture-in-picture size to a much larger feature window.
FLOATING VIDEO TOOL
Add a Floating Video to a Short
A floating video gives you more control than simply cropping footage to fill a vertical screen. You can preserve the original clip, place it over a themed background and decide exactly how much of the Short the video should occupy.

Upload a video, drag the floating media window to the best position, resize it, choose fit or fill and add an optional border before recording.
Use size to control importance
A larger floating window tells the viewer that the video is the main subject. A smaller window gives the background more visual weight.
Move the video around key background areas
Do not cover faces, signs, logos or other important background elements unless that is intentional.
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.
Choose fit when the full frame matters
Fit is useful for archive footage, screen recordings and videos where the edges contain useful information.
Choose fill for a stronger visual block
Fill crops the source to occupy the whole floating window and works well when the important action is near the centre.
Add a Floating Video to a Short FAQ
Can I use camera instead of uploaded video?
Yes. The media window can use a connected camera or an uploaded video.
Do the resize handles appear in the final video?
No. Editing handles and controls disappear during recording.
