Make your video look great across platforms
Each social media platform has its own technical requirements and visual preferences that affect how a video is presented and performs. Format customisation ensures that your content looks crisp and professional whether it appears on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or YouTube.
For Instagram and TikTok, vertical formats (9:16) are prioritised for Reels and Stories, filling the screen completely for maximum visibility. On Facebook and LinkedIn, square (1:1) or horizontal (16:9) formats work best in the feed, where autoplay without sound makes subtitles especially important. YouTube often requires a widescreen approach (16:9), but Shorts has a vertical format that requires different editing and framing.
To optimise the video for each platform, cropping, aspect ratio, duration and text placement are adjusted to keep the viewer’s attention. In addition, bitrate and file size are adjusted to ensure fast loading without compromising quality.
Once all formats are optimised, the video is tested on the relevant platforms to ensure that it renders correctly and engages the target audience in the best possible way. Thoughtful format customisation ensures your content performs effectively wherever it is shared.
