THE COMPOSITION

One product shot. More placements.

A conventional crop can remove packaging, hands, captions or the edge of the product. Keep the recorded frame intact and create room around it for each selected format.

THE REAL WORKFLOW

Why product videos get cropped

Feed, Story and short-form placements use different shapes. Reusing one landscape export can force a center crop, while stretching it distorts the product. Separate canvases preserve the original shot and give each placement the shape it expects.

FROM SOURCE TO SOCIAL FORMAT

How to resize a product video for social ads

01
Upload the complete product shot
Use the least-cropped version of your video. Keep the product, packaging and important text inside the source frame.
02
Choose the placements you need
Select 9:16 for vertical placements, 4:5 for a taller feed composition or 1:1 for square. Choose one format or several and review the credit estimate before generation.
03
Check every generated format
Play each result and compare it with the original. Confirm that the product remains unchanged and that generated scenery does not interfere with text or platform interface areas.

BEFORE YOU GENERATE

Questions about product videos for social ads

Can I make 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 versions from one product video?

Yes. Select one or several output formats in the editor. The estimate updates before you submit, so you can see the required credits for the selected outputs.

Will ExpandClip crop the product or packaging?

The complete source frame is placed inside the new canvas. Generated content fills space outside that frame. Review the finished video carefully, especially when the product touches an original edge.

Does this automatically place text inside each platform safe zone?

No. ExpandClip changes the video canvas; it does not reposition captions or certify platform safe zones. Keep important text inside the original picture and review each placement before publishing.

Does ExpandClip create the advertisement or write the script?

No. This workflow adapts an existing product clip to new aspect ratios. It does not write an ad, select highlights or add captions.
