How to make Vertical videos on davinci resolve -

you want to create vertical videos in DaVinci Resolve. Here’s the quick step-by-step:

1. Start a New Project

Open DaVinci Resolve and create a new project.

2. Change the Timeline Resolution to Vertical

Go to File → Project Settings (or click the gear icon in the bottom right).
Under Master Settings, find Timeline Resolution.
Set it manually to something vertical, like:
- 1080 x 1920 (for 9:16, Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
Also make sure Pixel Aspect Ratio is Square.

✅ You just flipped it vertical!

3. Import Your Footage

Drag your videos into the project.

If they are horizontal (16:9), you’ll need to reframe them:

4. Reframe (Resize & Position Footage)

Select your clip on the timeline.
Go to the Inspector (top-right panel).
Under Transform:
- Adjust Zoom and Position X to fit your subject nicely in the vertical frame.

Tip: Sometimes you can “zoom in” a little so your subject fits better without black bars.

5. Edit Normally

Now edit as usual — cuts, transitions, color grading, effects, etc.

6. Export for Vertical Platforms

Go to Deliver page.
In Render Settings:
- Format: MP4 or MOV
- Codec: H.264 (great for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
- Resolution: 1080 x 1920 (keep it vertical)
- Frame Rate: Match your timeline (usually 24, 30, or 60 fps)

Hit Add to Render Queue and Render All!

⚡ Quick Pro Tip

If you want to export multiple vertical videos fast, create a vertical timeline preset to save time for future projects.
