# What format should I select for my video?

The format selection modal will pop up once you've picked a template and show you the option to select between landscape (16:9 ratio), portrait (4:5), or vertical (9:16 ratio) formats. The final option is a vertical (9:16) format that will render each scene in your video individually, so you can post them on your Instagram Story/Reels as well as TikTok for viewers to tap through.

You can still change a video's format at any time, so don't stress if you make the wrong choice on this screen! Just look for the Format tab on the left side of the editor, and you'll see all the same options. Clicking on one of those will transform your entire video into the format of your choice!
