Create vertical and square videos in Google Vids
What’s happening
You can now create and edit videos in vertical (9:16) and square (1:1) sizes in Google Vids, in addition to the widescreen/horizontal format (16:9) already supported. These additional sizes will give you more flexibility to create content and export to a variety of platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. And coming soon, Google Vids will support vertical (9:16) and square (1:1) templates to help you create more content.
