Turns a horizontal video vertical, with no black bars and without cutting heads off
You filmed wide and you need a reel, a story or a square post. The usual approach is to crop the middle, which makes whoever stood at the side disappear, or to add black bars that look like a video uploaded by mistake. Here it does what professional editors do: the original fills the screen, heavily blurred, and serves as the background, with the sharp video placed on top in the centre. Nothing is cropped and nothing is black. You can pick a vertical reel, a square, an Instagram feed post or YouTube, and a black or white background instead of the blur. Everything runs on your own machine, the audio is kept, and the video is never sent anywhere.
