Vertical 9:16 short video

Create a 9:16 AI video composed for the phone screen.

Build for a vertical frame from the first shot instead of cropping a landscape result later. Keep the subject inside the central safe area, use one immediate action, and leave room for platform captions and controls before exporting to a Reels, Shorts, or story workflow.

These local references are unique to this page and help turn a broad search into a reviewable visual direction.

Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.

Opening scene and action

What a vertical social-video workflow controls

01

Phone-first composition

Place the subject and key motion inside a 9:16 frame from the start, with room near the edges for platform interface elements.

02

An immediate first-second action

Show the product, person, transformation, or camera movement immediately so the clip can be understood without a long setup.

03

A caption-safe ending

Reserve a clean ending area for verified captions, branding, disclosure, or calls to action added in the publishing workflow.

How to create a native 9:16 social video

Choose the destination placement before generating. The model, composition, motion, duration, and safe areas should all serve the same vertical frame.

  1. 01

    Choose the 9:16 destination first

    Decide whether the asset is for a Reel, Short, or story placement, then account for its caption and interface safe areas.

  2. 02

    Compose the subject for the vertical frame

    Keep the key subject near the central viewing area and describe one vertical-friendly action or camera move.

  3. 03

    Select a model that exposes 9:16

    Choose Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Wan 2.7, or another current model with a vertical option, then set duration and sound as available.

  4. 04

    Finish platform details separately

    After generation, add and verify final captions, claims, branding, music, and platform-specific details in your publishing workflow.

A social-video draft still needs production review

01

Generated text is not final social copy
Write, add, and review final captions, calls to action, tags, claims, and branding separately.

02

Frame and duration options vary
Select only the social-friendly frame and duration choices available for the active video model.

03

Check platform and usage requirements
You remain responsible for content rights, disclosures, music, brand approvals, and the requirements of the platform where you publish.
