Vertical Video

Vertical video is content filmed or rendered in 9:16 portrait orientation, designed for full-screen mobile viewing. It is the standard format for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Snapchat. Vertical video requires special attention to safe zones (areas where platform UI elements appear) to ensure content isn't obscured.
