Overview
Highlights render in 1920x1080 by default. You can create vertical, square, or other formats from existing highlights to optimize them for different social media platforms like Instagram Stories, TikTok, or Instagram feed posts. The reformatted video appears as a separate version alongside the original.
How to Create a New Format
1. Navigate to Multimedia > Highlights
2. Click on a highlight to open full-screen view
3. Click Create Format below the video player
4. Select a format:
* Vertical 9:16 (Instagram Stories, TikTok)
* Square 1:1 (Instagram feed)
* Standard 4:3
* Portrait 4:5
5. Click Advanced Settings for custom adjustments OR click Create New Version to use defaults
Using Advanced Settings
If you clicked Advanced Settings, you can control exactly what appears in the frame:
1. Click Play to preview the highlight
2. Click Pause at key moments
3. Drag the frame box to position what you want captured
4. This creates a keyframe on the timeline
5. Repeat steps 1-3 to add more keyframes (more keyframes = smoother motion)
6. Use Delete Keyframe, Undo, or Redo buttons as needed
7. Change format using the format dropdown if needed
8. Click Create New Version
Viewing the New Format
The new format appears as a tab in the top right of the full-screen view (Original | Vertical 9:16). Click the tab to view and play the reformatted video.
The reformatted version is created as a separate highlight. The original highlight is preserved and remains unchanged.
Tips
Add keyframes every 2-3 seconds during fast action for smoother motion tracking. Use fewer keyframes during slow moments like celebrations or replays. Preview multiple times and add keyframes where motion looks jerky. More keyframes create smoother motion but increase processing time.
