Why one master file does not fit everywhere

🔲

Four frames, not forty

Vertical feeds take 9:16. Square posts take 1:1. Landscape players take 16:9. Portrait feed posts take 4:5. You can switch a clip between all four in Clip Layout Settings.

📉

Cropping costs you pixels

A 1920 x 1080 file cropped to 9:16 leaves a 608 pixel wide column. We upsample anything below 1080 to an output of 1080 x 1920, so the export still lands at 1080p.

🔁

Every new frame is a new reframe

Changing the ratio moves the subject within the frame. Reframe Anything identifies key objects and actions and tracks them across frames, so each version keeps the subject in shot.

One project, four aspect ratios

Open Editor, go to Clip Layout Settings and switch between 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, 16:9 landscape and 4:5 portrait, then save changes.

Duplicating a clip carries every setting over, aspect ratio, captions and effects included, so you can branch a square version off a vertical one.

Expand the frame instead of cropping it

AI Expand changes the aspect ratio by generating new visual area around the original footage, so you reach a new frame without cropping the original away.

Target frames cover 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9, on clips of 4 to 90 seconds up to 500 MB.

How to size one video for every platform

1

Upload the highest resolution master you have

A 4K source leaves more pixels after cropping than a 1080p one. A 4K file at 3840 x 2160 cropped to 9:16 exports at 1215 x 2160 with no upsampling.

2

Set your primary frame

Pick the ratio most of your posting goes to in Clip Layout Settings, or preset it in a brand template so every new clip starts in the right frame.

3

Branch the other sizes

Duplicate the clip and change its ratio, or use AI Expand when cropping would cut something important out of the frame.

4

Schedule each version

Send each size to the platform it was made for. Post immediately or schedule it for later from the project page.

How Social Media Video Sizes works in OpusClip: upload the highest resolution master you have, set your primary frame, branch the other sizes, schedule each version

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main social media video sizes?

Four aspect ratios cover almost everything: 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, 16:9 landscape and 4:5 portrait. OpusClip lets you switch a clip between all four in Clip Layout Settings.

Can I make several sizes from one video?

Yes. Duplicate the clip and change its ratio, and the copy carries over the original settings including aspect ratio, captions and effects.

What happens to resolution when I change the aspect ratio?

Cropping removes pixels, so we upsample any output that falls below 1080 to 1080 x 1920 and keep the minimum at 1080p. A 4K source cropped to 9:16 exports at 1215 x 2160.

Which platforms can I publish each size to?

Nine: YouTube, TikTok Feed, Instagram Reels, Facebook Page, LinkedIn, X (beta), Pinterest, Threads and Bluesky, posted or scheduled from the project page through each platform's official API.
