Please note: VideoScribe Legacy is the older version of our software. We continue to support it, but we recommend switching to the latest version to enjoy the best features and performance.
If you are using the latest version of VideoScribe click here to read the article on Output sizes (latest version).
Depending on where you want to use your video (on your website or social media, for example), the size and shape of the project will be important. Different apps recommend different canvas sizes for your videos.
To choose a canvas size:
- Select the ‘Create a new scribe' button and choose your canvas size
- Type in your project name and select 'Create project'
You can create videos in these canvas sizes:
- 16:9 ratio - traditional (YouTube/websites)
- 1:1 ratio - square (Instagram/Facebook)
- 9:16 ratio portrait (Facebook stories/Instagram stories)
