How to Edit Vertical Videos for Reels

Creating eye-catching vertical videos for platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels can significantly enhance your engagement. With the right tools and techniques, you can turn ordinary footage into captivating content. Here’s how you can efficiently edit vertical videos using NexusCut, the AI-powered video editor designed for social media.

Understanding the Vertical Format

Vertical videos are typically in a 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for mobile viewing. Here’s why you should consider this format:

• Increased Engagement: Vertical videos take up more screen space, drawing viewers’ attention.
• User Preference: Most mobile users prefer watching videos in portrait mode.
• Platform Fit: A 9:16 canvas uses the available screen space on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts without promising distribution or reach.
