• Edit: The property panel will be extended to the bottom line in this mode.
• Short Video: Best suit creators who intend to upload a short-form vertical video.
• Classic: for people who like the way it looked with the original version of Filmora.
• Dual: This mode works best for people who are accustomed to multiple monitors.

7. Resizing Panel Groups
If you want to resize any of the panels, drag the resizing icon at the borders between each panel to adjust to your preferred fit.

Method 1: To resize panels horizontally, position the pointer on the sides until the pointer becomes a left and right arrow.
