Choose the composition first
Landscape 16:9, portrait 9:16 and square 1:1 are useful starting compositions. For example, 1920 by 1080 is 16:9 and 1080 by 1920 is 9:16. These are mathematical examples, not universal upload requirements. Choose the frame that keeps the subject, demonstration and essential text readable.
- Destination and exact placement:
- Organic post or advertisement:
- Required aspect ratio and dimensions:
- Maximum duration and file size, verified at export:
Specify the file and captions
Confirm container, codec, frame rate and audio requirements against the destination's current documentation. YouTube publishes an upload-encoding reference linked below. Do not infer a universal specification for other platforms from a YouTube recommendation. Confirm whether captions should be embedded, separate or both.
- Container and video codec:
- Frame rate and any source-conversion notes:
- Audio format and delivery requirements:
- Caption format, language and review owner:
Preview interface overlays
Buttons, captions and account labels can cover different parts of a video depending on placement and device. Keep essential content away from those areas and test the actual publishing preview. A fixed safe-zone diagram can become outdated and cannot replace checking the destination.
- Face and product remain visible.
- Caption lines do not cover important actions.
- Disclosures are readable.
- First and last frames work in the placement.
Approve a sample before a batch
Upload one representative export and inspect it on the intended device. Check text, audio, crop and compression. Record the verified settings with a date and placement name, then apply them to the batch. Recheck when a platform changes its requirements or the campaign uses a different placement.
