Why Resize a Video?
When editing videos, you'll often need to resize them for a variety of reasons. Consider these examples:
* Uploading to Social Media: Each platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) has optimal video dimensions. Resizing ensures the best viewing experience for your audience.
* Reducing File Size: Larger video files take longer to upload and transfer. Resizing reduces the file size, saving time and storage space.
* Matching Screen Ratios: To play videos on different devices (TVs, monitors, smartphones), you must match their aspect ratios. Misalignment can result in cropping or letterboxing/pillarboxing, which degrades the viewing experience.
* Facilitating Re-editing: Resizing allows you to emphasize specific scenes or change the composition, making re-editing easier.
