One take, every shape

The teleprompters inside TikTok and Instagram make a video for that one app. ClippCut makes a 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, a 4:5 or 1:1 for the feed and a 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn, all from the same take.

How each shape is made

• Taller or same-shape frames are cropped from your take, keeping your face near the top third where it sits in vertical video.
• Much wider frames (a vertical take made into 16:9) show your whole picture over a soft, blurred copy of itself, the way news and podcast clips do.
• Captions are placed for each shape, and kept clear of the TikTok and Reels buttons in 9:16.

Steps

1. Record as usual. 9:16 is the best starting point for most people.
2. In the review, tap the extra shapes under Make it for.
3. Tap Share all or Save. ClippCut makes every shape in one pass, on your device.

Every shape from one take is part of ClippCut Pro.

Framing for every shape

Each shape is made from your take, so frame for the tightest one you'll use. In practice that means:

• Keep your head and shoulders in the middle of a 9:16 frame, with a little room above your head.
• Don't put anything important at the very top or bottom edges: a 1:1 or 4:5 version crops them.
• Hold your hands and props near your body if you'll also post a square version.

Which shape goes where
