Frequently asked questions

All about video to reels

What is the ideal video size for Reels?

Instagram Reels uses the vertical 9:16 format, at 1080x1920 pixels. The tool already exports in that size, ready to post.

How do I turn a horizontal (16:9) video into 9:16?

Upload the video, choose which part of the frame to keep (left, center, or right), and download the cropped vertical version for Reels.

How long can a Reels be?

Instagram allows Reels of up to 90 seconds. For longer videos, it's worth cutting just the best segment before posting.

Which video formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, and WebM. The result comes out as MP4, compatible with Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

How do I make the frame follow the face automatically?

Here the framing is manual. In VDClip, face tracking follows the face on its own throughout the whole video, it adds captions, and gives a virality score for each cut. Reframe with face tracking in VDClip →
