Editing portrait (vertical) video in DaVinci Resolve can be achieved efficiently using the "Auto Reframe" feature. Here's how:
- Select the Video: In the DaVinci Resolve timeline, select the portrait video clip you want to edit.
- Access the Inspector: Go to the Inspector panel, typically located on the upper right side of the DaVinci Resolve interface.
- Apply Auto Reframe: Within the Inspector, locate and select the "Auto Reframe" option. DaVinci Resolve will then analyze the footage.
- Adjust as Needed (Optional): After the auto-reframe analysis, review the results. If necessary, make manual adjustments to the framing or keyframes to fine-tune the composition. Keyframing manually is also an option, but Auto Reframe provides a quicker starting point.
By using Auto Reframe, DaVinci Resolve automatically adjusts the video to fit the portrait aspect ratio, making it suitable for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and reducing the need for manual keyframing.
