How to Export for Social Media

Different platforms need different aspect ratios. Screen Script lets you set the aspect ratio in the Editor, so your video is framed correctly before you export.

Platform Recommended Ratio Use Case
YouTube 16:9 Standard landscape video
LinkedIn 16:9 or 1:1 Feed posts and articles
Instagram Reels 9:16 Vertical short-form video
TikTok 9:16 Vertical short-form video
YouTube Shorts 9:16 Vertical short-form video
Instagram Feed 1:1 Square post format
Twitter / X 16:9 or 1:1 Feed video

Steps

  1. Open your project in the Editor.

  2. Set the aspect ratio — go to Project Settings in the properties panel and change the aspect ratio to match your target platform (e.g., 9:16 for Reels/TikTok/Shorts).

  3. Adjust your layout — after changing the aspect ratio, reposition your video sources so they look good in the new frame. A vertical layout may need the camera below or above the screen recording instead of side by side.

  4. Trim if needed — social media videos work best when they're short and focused. Trim to keep only the most engaging content.

  5. Export — click Export, choose a resolution that fits the platform (1080x1920 for vertical, 1080x1080 for square), and render.

Tips

  • Keep it short — under 60 seconds works best for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts.
  • Front-load the hook — put the most interesting moment in the first 3 seconds.
  • Use zoom effects — on smaller mobile screens, zooming into key UI elements makes them easier to see.
  • Test at actual size — preview your video on your phone before publishing to make sure text and UI elements are readable.
