So you have an awesome video that you want to share on Instagram, but it is a rectangle and you need it to be a square. How do you resize (resize) it for Instagram without losing the quality?

You can watch my tutorial below to learn how to resize video from 1920 x 1080 (16:9) to 1080 x 1080:

I use Shot Cut for video editing and Adobe Spark to make it square.

What is ShotCut?

Imagine Adobe After Effects, but less painful.  This is Shot Cut!  You download it to your computer and can use it for video editing for FREE.  There aren’t any time limits or watermarks.  Some big video production companies even use this software for commercials and movies!

What is Adobe Spark?

Imagine Canva had a baby with After Effects.  This is Adobe Spark!  You can make Social Media posts, videos and slide shows for FREE.  You can also use it for one-page websites (landing pages) too, but I didn’t really like that feature. I use this program more for video resizing and music than anything else.

 

*1080 x 1080 (square) is also the perfect size for Twitter and Facebook too 🙂

 

What do you use for video editing?

Thanks for stopping by!

Best,

Erica
