Make Vertical Videos FAST! Smart Conform Tutorial || Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- When it comes to content on social media - whether for Instagram reels, TikTok, or UA-cam shorts - vertical video is everywhere. But in many cases, you might be working with a horizontal video that you wish to turn into vertical content. So what's the easiest and fastest way you can turn your horizontal videos into vertical content that's fit for all of these platforms?
In this tutorial, I'll cover how to turn your horizontal videos in vertical ones using Final Cut Pro X (FCPX). Specifically, this will discuss the power behind Final Cut's Smart Conform feature, and how this is an effective way of expediting the process of converting your videos for vertical use. However, I'll also discuss the likely pre and post-work you'll need to do to prepare and adjust videos that have been converted using this tool. Furthermore, we'll also cover what turning landscape into portrait videos looks like when not utilizing Smart Conform, and instead doing the process manually by hand.
Overall, FCPX contains a wealth of intuitive and useful tools to assist creators in their efforts around making vertical videos, and these tools are definitely worth looking into.

Nice clear simple tutorial thank you!
No problem!
I do a lot of my editing manual for more control, you can select all videos then (scale all) till it fits the screen entirely then you're done with all the videos. instead of going 1 by 1
That's still a solid option, I'll go in and scale clips manually from time to time. But I find Smart Conform saves a lot of time on most edits, especially with tracking subjects and adjusting scale, X and Y position.
You are the best, thank you very much!
No problem, Johnny!
Simple, thanks!
No problem!
03:44 why when I clicked the transform like you did it dosen't show the sides of my canvas? The side is just black bars. in your video it becomes transparent
It might depend on the resolution of your original video clip or the project.
Cheers man very helpfull
Thanks Robert!
When I use smart conform in FCP it does not adjust the videos. It says it can not use smart conform on cropped videos. When I un-crop my original videos and try again, it still doesn't work. It keeps the old video aspect ratio and places it in the centre of the new vertical frame, like a tiny box. Any advice? Thanks for the video.
No problem. How much are your current clips cropped, and are you converting them into a resolution (vertical) that's higher than your horizontal resolution? I'd be curious to know what resolution you're going to, i.e. from X to Y.
@@andrewsaraceni Thanks for your prompt response. The footage is from a GoPro camera, so I have cropped it so the frame is rectangular to fit the screen instead of square. The crop hasn't removed heaps of the frame. If I create a vertical project and then add my clips, it works fine, but it would mean rebuilding each video into shorts. I just tried converting the original project to 720x1280, but it still didn't work. In case it helps, here is the video I am trying to make into shorts. Thanks again for your help.

@@centreswim No problem! I would try copying the contents of the project into a new one (ideally, whatever the native resolution of the GoPro footage is), and selecting all of the clips and uncropping them to see if that has any effect. Or you could also take the final video you exported, reimport as a regular 4K UHD video, split up the parts you want to make shorts out of, and run Smart Conform on that. Since it wouldn't "see" any crop at that point.
@@andrewsaraceni Thank you, Andrew. That's a great call, reimporting the final video and splitting it up that way. I'll give both of those a try. Thanks again for your help. I've shared a few of your videos with friends. Great content.
I’m 2112 😊
Would there be a reason that I can’t select it? Won’t allow me to select the smart conform
Is the option there but grayed out? What's the resolution of the original project/clip you're trying to do it from?
No option here..?@@andrewsaraceni
Nice to know ! Thanks !😉👍

No problem, Serge!
4k export for instagram?
I think for IG, 4K or HD vertical content both can work well, but the process is nearly identical (just changing resolution).

Glad to see you here. 🙂
