Thanks, Kawping for giving me a free video editor that lets you resize your videos to shorts. I couldn't find any free editors that lets you resize your videos to shorts on laptop.

[@10times_better]

super slow load time to edit

[@themagmacreeper8215]

Can you do it on Android? , because it's so hard

[@theadventuresofraz8706]

This is EXACTLY the video I needed. Thank you my friend!

im new to yt so this helped me make my first short i was strugling on it

[@ironmikebro]

Nice, I just spent 3 hours editing a video on KAPWING, then to see a WATERMARK... Jesus, you said it was free..

[@pendogood5433]

😂😂😂

[@Drizzftbl.cc7]

He said if u don’t sign in it will have watermark

[@KofArenaStream]

Hahaha 😅

[@sherazrasheed8819]

Just use screen recorder and then crop it

[@majstorfantac9896]

same here, i did sign in with my google acc, still have watermark...

[@dipsheet1650]

I was looking for a tutorial on this for SOOOOOOO long, and I finally found the PERFECT one. THANKYOU!

[@maricelp116]

same here. been hearing about kapwing and haven't really try it

[@Htfdfilmclub]

Five minutes of direct, concise instruction... exceptional!

[@Wtahc]

HOW WAS THAT CONCISE

[@Htfdfilmclub]

@@Wtahc most of the videos that try to tackle the topic turn it into their own 15+ min TED Talk. Kapwing's is pretty quick to the point here on what you need to know

[@archiearchiball3392]

[@stephaniesstunningstilettos]

VERY helpful! Thank you. Now I can access all my old videos and recycle. So appreciate it!

[@crib4046]

Thank you so much! I've been doing YT a few months now and this is my first short. Kapwing was very useful. Really streamlined the process for me.

[@daneo617]

This is the only video I could find on this topic I've been trying to figure this out for almost a year now 🤦🏼‍♂️
Thank you very much you just saved my channel ✌🏻

[@DALILOMODIY]

great tutorial, thanks!

[@SimAura]

This is amazing! I was having such a hard time figuring out how to add the end subscribe animation with the proper res, this program and your instructions make it so easy! Thank you!!

[@nighthawk7748]

Very kind of you to make this video! I have always used watermarked services in the past.

[@blaze9670]

DUDE idk how to thank you....you saved my life! exactly the vid i needed!

[@Gamer-Sam]

Useful stuff. thank you buddy!

[@TheWellEducatedArtist]

Thanks for the tips about repurposing older content vertically. I started a new art channel and the shorts are getting amazing results. I have found it easier to just shoot the vids specifically with shorts in mind when working with art in iMovie because of the vertical limits but I will try Kapwing.

[@VGGamess]

Same! Im doing spiderman content and already got results that would usually take 6 months or so in like 2 days!! Shorts are the way 🔥

[@sausagedancer1712]

I just subscribed. So much clarity and no BS. Thank you!

[@MarriedManWoodworking]

OK, so this was the best answer for my question I could find. Great job. Thanks for the video instruction. It worked great.

[@xxbarca10x]

Perfect video, straight to the point and most important helpful you the man my dude! 👌

[@InTheFrontRowYT]

I have been doing my head in trying to fix this! You my friend are amazing, thank you so much! 🙌

Great and simple tutorial! Thank you for your help.

[@Tarnished_Brand]

This is a great video - always open it up anytime I need to make a short :)

[@canalsentir]

Thanks for that! Looks like a handy shorts tool!

[@tiagoward4872]

Perfect. Just what I needed!

[@eeshcreatings2126]

I've created all my shorts through this site, Thankyou so much for sharing

[@raul1899]

I finally did this with the free editor that comes with windows 10, I lowered it to some other definition but still had a lot of black on the sides and the actual image looked small with the cellphone resolution video. Then found the option "portrait" and the black on the sides was very slim. Then I saw you mentioned 9 by 16, and did not notice than when I clicked "portrait" the 9: 16 resolution was finally ublocked, now the video I had with cellphone resolution I was able to edit in the same exact resolution. I'm so happy. I had tried this years ago with multiple editors and had not been able to do it. And it's hard to find videos that explain this, very very hard. The search engines give you all other stuff

[@SupercoachwithDR]

Fantastic video my man, exactly what I was looking for. You just got a new sub 🤟

[@DeclanHiggins-YoutubeChannel]

I was making new YT Shorts not reproducing my long form content. Thanks for this extremely helpful advice ☺

[@JOEZEP54]

A little late to the party. Doing my first short tonight, will post tomorrow. This information is very helpful. Thank you. Just an update even if you sign in you get a watermark with the free version. Still good to use.
Stay well, Joe Z

[@TenshiOtori]

ur that dude thanks for explaining the fact that i had the video highlighted very well organized.

[@gamexplay1]

Tried this method but some important things are different now. Kapwing now adds a watermark even if you have an account but more important is that the exported video is not in the 9;16 format but in normal horizontal because it adds the watermark on white bars at both sides.

[@danninagy6895]

Thanks for telling me befor i started

Awesome tutorial! I make fast time lapses of my artwork and wanted to convert a few into shorts!

[@SofaKingManlyGaming]

Thank you so much! This helped me big time

[@JOEZEP54]

I have been trying to get this right for hours. Everyone of the shorts I make using this get a wide video format. The video plays in a vertical format but it looks like a video format that is blacked out on the sides before you pay it. I have watched this video many times & cannot figure what I m doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@inspired_by_faith1]

this is the exact video i wanted, thank you so much!
