Tips for Better Expanded Videos

Expansion adds new area around your footage. These habits help you get a result you like.

Match the Ratio to Where It Plays

Choose the ratio before you expand: 9:16 for tall screens, 1:1 for squares and 16:9 for widescreen players.

Leave Room Around the Subject

Expansion generates new area around your original footage, so keep the subject where you want it and look over the new edges.

Preview Before You Save

Use the preview to check the new edges. If you do not like the result, try another ratio before saving.
