One edit, many destinations. Choppity lets you switch output aspect ratio inside the editor so the same clip can ship as a vertical Reel, square feed post, or horizontal YouTube video.

Switch ratio in the editor

  1. Find the size dropdown under the preview player.
  2. Choose Portrait, Square, or Landscape.
  3. Review the preview: captions, crop, and overlays update for the new canvas size.

Crop and captions per ratio

Framing data is saved separately for each aspect ratio. After switching, open Crop to confirm speakers stay centered and check caption position on 9:16.
