Resize your video dimensions to look great on any platform and in any format or aspect ratio. Whether you want to resize an Instagram video for YouTube Shorts or resize a large video for TikTok, Descript has you covered.
Start by creating a Descript project and changing the canvas size to match your desired video dimensions. Just click on the “Aspect ratio and video settings” icon. You can choose square (1:1), landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), or select advanced to choose a custom height and width.
Drag, drop, crop and resize your media layers to work with the new canvas size. You can add Fancy Captions, text, images, or a background to your resized video to make better use of empty space (e.g. if you’re resizing a 1:1 square video into a 9:16 portrait format).
Create multiple compositions in the same project if you want to export the same video in different sizes. Just highlight all or part of your video’s transcript, right click, and duplicate to a new composition. Once you’re done, go to Publish > Export to download all compositions.
