First thing you need to do is import media to your video editor. I've already done that here. Now click on it and drag and drop it into your timeline. I'm going to “Mute” this video for now. So this is the video I have.

I want to increase the width of the video before I add the background blur. So I’m just going to crop the video a little bit. Click on “Custom," and now I'm going to reduce the height. As you can see, now the width of the video has increased a little bit.

Now click on "Effects." In effect, search “Basic Blur.” This is the first option you get, drag and drop it on top of your clip. Drag it to your entire clip. So you can see the vertical video now has a blurred background.

You can tweak the background. Double-click on “Basic Blur,” and here you can increase the blur intensity and everything. “Background Feather” is the option to increase or decrease the blur. As you can see, it’s increasing and decreasing. I would like to keep it at 0.85, and “Background Luminance" basically makes the background a bit darker or lighter, or you can also use a background color and use any of this gray palette to make it darker.

You can play around with all of these adjustments to make your clip how you like it. Now click “OK." As you can see, now the background is blurred, and the video looks really good.

To export this clip, click on "Export" and click on "Settings." In settings, make sure you choose the resolution if you want. I usually go with 1080p videos. So I'm going to choose this and choose the frame rate as 29.97. The bit rate can either be 8,000 or 10,000. In the audio bit rate, choose 320, and click "OK." Now click on "Export." The video will now start exporting.
