01 / PLAN
Start with the result and the source
A 9:16 canvas is tall and narrow. Decide whether each landscape source should be cropped, fitted over a designed background, or reframed across several cuts.
Make the main editorial decision before adding polish. A clear message, stable timeline, and intentional aspect ratio make captions, music, graphics, and export settings easier to judge.
02 / WORKFLOW
Complete the workflow step by step
- Prepare.
Create a PeteCut project and choose Vertical 9:16 before arranging the main composition.
- Set up.
Import video, voiceover, images, and graphics, then trim the story to one clear purpose.
- Create.
Scale and position every shot intentionally; keep faces, products, and captions away from interface-heavy edges.
- Review.
Preview at phone size, correct caption timing, and export the vertical master.
03 / QUALITY CHECK
Review the result before the next step
Watch the full export outside the editor. Review it once with sound and once muted, then check text placement and framing at the size of the intended screen.
- No source is stretched.
- The subject stays visible through movement.
- Titles and captions fit safe areas.
- The opening frame explains the value quickly.
