One of the new features in Davinci Resolve 18.1 is the ability to quickly adjust your video resolution to accommodate vertical video projects that are perfect to output to social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels and Instagram Stories and KZfaq Shorts. In this video, I'll show you how to quickly adjust your vertical video settings in Davinci Resolve 18.1 from both the Project Settings and Timeline Settings menus. We'll also look at how you can save your perfect vertical video or square video settings as a default preset to use quickly in your next project.

I do all the time in order to promote my KZfaq channel on instagram where I have more followers. I don't actually record full videos vertically but I find this format is attention grabbing on IG, more so than traditional horizontal ones. I am seeing that only the HD settings actually work for me on DaVinci Resolve, the max I can set a timeline in terms of dimensions for vertical video to work and scale for me is 1080x1920. Anything larger than that is simply ignored. Not sure why that is.

Thanks for the great video tips, Alex. I have a problem that I can't find anyone else mentioning (either in your comments or on KZfaq in general). When I covert my timeline to vertical format, I lose the ability to pan my clips. It's like my clips are cropped and I don't have any data extending to the left or right of the frame. I've searched and searched to find a solution to this but am not even finding anyone mention this. Is this something you've ever experienced? Do you have any suggestions where I could look to "Resolve" this? (Sorry… couldn't resist) Thanks again!

Hello Alex! Thank you for making this video. This is my first time using DaVinci Resolve so please bear with me a moment. I need some help regarding vertical video. I shot my videos vertically on a BMPCC OG, uploaded the footage into Resolve, but it is all coming out horizontal and each clip needs to be rotated somehow. Even when I create a new timeline with the vertical aspect ratio you suggested here, the video footage itself is horizontal. How do I fix this? Like I said I am a 100% complete newbie so will need careful instruction somehow. Unless you have a video you can direct me to. I'd really appreciate the assistance. this is a very intimidating program and quite frustrating as you can imagine. Thank you!

Hey Alex - the smart reframe is something that I completely forgot about. The idea of Resolve being able to keep a person in frame is an interesting concept that I had hoped could be used on any clip if zoomed in. I wish they would look into that functionality. I used to edit and grade concert footage and in some situations the camera or the lens is not enough to get close up work on the singers or instruments. So in the past to follow a singer I would do a lot of keyframing. And then to do it inside a multicam copy was even more difficult. So when I first say the smart reframing I thought that it might work on any clip ( I don't think it does ). Nice job on this one. cheers.

@AlexCameron-Depiqd Жыл бұрын

Appreciate your support, feedback and comments as always, Jim. I've also found that whilst it does do a good job most of the time, Smart Reframe does sometimes need a little bit of finesse and is definitely something that I hope continues to improve. That old workflow, by the way sounds rather intense.

Is worth to say that the vertical feature is limited to HD only for the Free version. If you try to go Ultra HD - 4k, the checkbox will un-check itself when you click Save without a warning... wish they would just mention this. Spent 2 hours installing and re-installing thinking is something wrong on my end... 🤢😮‍💨

Hi Alex when you change your project settings in Image Scaling to set full frame with crop will that affect quality of videos shot vertically? I'm putting my my Air 2S footage in this feature but am wondering if I can simply place my Sony A73 shot vertically on timeline too.

@AlexCameron-Depiqd Жыл бұрын

Good question. Might depend on a few things...What's your main project resolution and orientation? What is your source footage resolution and orientation? Is your main footage A73 or Air 2S? Generally scaling the image up is less desirable than scaling the image down. Always try to shoot in a higher quality/resolution and then come down depending on your deliverable. Resolve does a great job at scaling mismatched footage.

@alex I want to make a video tutorial for vertical video but I want to start with a full hd ratio 1920x1080. I then want to make a vertical frame that follows my cursor and keeps it roughly centered as it moves around the screen. If there a way to do this using tracking in Davinci?

@AlexCameron-Depiqd Жыл бұрын

Sounds great. If I understand correctly, I think that you'd be able to achieve this in Fusion relatively easily. You'll need to be able to understand key-framing as I don't know how else you might do it. You might be able to track your cursor and then apply that track data to the vertical frame mask. Does that help at all?
