How do I resize a video for TikTok in Filmora?
Create a 9:16 vertical Filmora project, reframe the subject so it fills the canvas without stretching, and export a high-quality vertical file such as 1080 x 1920 when it matches the current platform requirements.
What Filmora project settings work for TikTok?
Use a 9:16 project and a vertical resolution that matches the current TikTok upload guidance. 1080 x 1920 is a common full-HD target, but confirm the platform's current limits before final export.
Match the frame rate to the source when possible. A mismatch can create uneven motion, especially in gameplay, sports, or clips recorded at high frame rates.
How should you reframe landscape footage for a vertical video?
Do not stretch the landscape video. Crop and reposition it around the subject, then use keyframes when the subject moves from one side of the frame to the other.
Keep captions, faces, product names, and calls to action away from the areas commonly covered by TikTok controls. Preview the final file on a phone before publishing.
