Choose a canvas shape

Click the ratio button at the top right of the canvas. In this example it reads 4:3. In the Composition menu, choose 9:16 for a vertical video. The video uses this frame.

Open your video

When the export finishes, your browser saves the file, named after the scene, for example iPhone 16 Pro.mp4. In our test, a 9:16 export of this scene was a 1212 × 2160 video at 60 frames per second, 6.3 seconds long and about 20 MB. A small white label reading Made with ls.graphics sat at the bottom center of the picture.
