Hi everyone, I was curious if there was some way to make YouTube shorts with Magix! I don't know how to set the resolution to what ever the phone screen is, or aspect ratio. Anyone got any hot tips? Thanks in advance!
There are Movie Settings presets for "Social Media", being square and 9:16 (ie portrait video). It's a tradeoff between filling the phone screen or not zooming in as much using a square, or even 4:3, frame size. If your source material is 16:9 landscape, then you're better off with a square frame. If it's portrait ie upright, then by all means use 9:16 to fill the whole phone screen eg 1080x1920.
The very basic steps are:
-Set up your movie settings as you desire
-Bring your clips onto the timeline
-Use either Section, Camera/Zoom Shot or Size-Position-Rotation to fill your movie frame.
-Save As... MPEG 4 at frame size and bitrate (thru Advanced) that you desire; the higher bitrate the better for quality.
