Hi :)

Where do other creators recommend converting and resizing videos to use for preview videos? 

I was using https://www.online-convert.com/ but ran out since I had to test for the right output (721 x 1280 seems to output 720 x 1280 - so weird) and outputting straight from snap on iphone is the wrong dimensions :(

    Hi Vivek, I have already read this, it's so long to record in snap (my device isn't 19:6), resizing on my device means it becomes a .mov file, not a .mp4 so the only way around that is to then upload it to a website as I linked, with odd instructions, else my videos are rejected. There must be an easier way?

    Thought I would share my current -still long- workaround here using DaVinci Resolve:

    • set up the timeline manually with 720 x 1280
    • drag in your video to the timeline and select it
    • set video (right side panel), double click retime and scaling under it and set scaling to fill
    • click the rocket icon (launch) on the bottom most icon bar
    • set render size and format, 720 x 1280, mp4 and add to render queue
    • go to the render queue panel and click render all
    • phew, it’s ready
