3 Top Tips for Creating Vertical Video in Final Cut Pro X

With the rise of social media, the rules of creating video content have changed. The vertical videos that were once taboo are everywhere now. If you're about to get started on your first non-horizontal video project, check out these useful tips

1. Shoot With Vertical in Mind

This is the most important tip for making vertical videos. If you're responsible for getting the footage, make sure it was made for the purpose of vertical video. Good footage makes your time editing and working with Final Cut Pro X templates all the easier.

2. Caption Your Video

When you're creating something that will be seen online, it's important to be accessible. Captioning your vertical video is useful for deaf or hard of hearing viewers. It's also helpful for viewers that want to view your video but don't want to turn up the volume.

3. Think About Your Social Media Audiences

Different social media audiences prefer different types of content. Where Facebook and Instagram see longer form videos, platforms like Twitter favor shorter clips. Think about what site you're posting too, and create your video accordingly.
