How to Create Square Facebook Videos Using Adobe Premiere Pro
In this video, I wanted to show you how you could create a square Facebook video, basically a one-by-one aspect ratio, video for Facebook using Adobe premier. In order to do that, I basically edited my sequence in a regular sequence. This is 1920 by 1080 sequence that I've. I would use it in any other video that's shot in that format, but now I want to take the sequence and make it square.
So in order to do that, I need to create a new sequence. So I'll come up here to file new and I'll go to sequence here and these are the ratio. These are the aspect ratios of the sequence that I usually get. They're usually 16 by nine here, as you could see, this is the one I'm using right now, 16 by 9.
But one by one aspect ratio is going to be a little different and none of these options have that. So I'll have to create a custom one. So this is how you do that. I'll basically start with any, any one of these, I'll just click that one and this is the sequence that is created for me sequence too.
I'll go over here and I'll basically command, click, or right-click on the sequence and I want to change the sequence setting. So I'll go over here, sequence settings, and I'll see my aspect ratio or the frame size right here 16 by 9 what I want to do is change this to square. So basically my horizontal and vertical frames need to be the same size.
That's how I will get a square-shaped image. So I'll just go ahead and change this to 1080. So now I'll have 1080 by 1080, or a one-by-one video size and I'm going to go ahead and change the sample of the audio right here. Sample rate to 4041. Facebook likes that more also. So 1080 by 1080 square press.
So there we go. Now, we have a square video here. So now if I go back to my edit and if I select all and I'm going to just come and copy here and I'll bring it here and I paste it right too. In the sequence, I should get my video right into the square format. Now, the next thing I want to do is if I don't like how this is going to sh because it's basically cropping the side of this video.
So this video is actually 16 by nine, so it's dropping into bed. So in order to fit this to screen, I'll basically have to select one of these and I need to come here to my effects tab. So I selected it and came to the effects tab up here, and I need to scale the size down to fit the screen. So right here, if I bring it to that size right now is fitting the screen 58 and it's going to give me the option to put text up here. If I wanted to and I do want to do that. I actually have two textiles that I'm going to bring onto it to go throughout the video. You could also reframe this to fit the image if you want it to do that instead, but let's go with something like this here.
I'll just go with 60. I think that's a good size for my square dimensions and I could either go ahead and do this to all my clips, or I could just select this and I could copy, and then I could come to these other clips and I could just go ahead and select these and then command control-click or right-click and paste attribute.
That will allow me to add, pace the attribute of the motion here. So I'll just go ahead and do that press okay. I'll just have to select the other clips I have. I'm just shifting selecting these and then again, I'm going to control, click on a macro right click-based attribute motion. So now everything should give me.
The same shape that I had for the one I selected. So basically, usually I will come to the first clip I was selected. I will change the scale of it and then I would go ahead and copy that and apply it to the rest of my clip. Just basically copy and then select everything else and then click in paste attribute, and I would use motion to do that.
So now we're almost there. So I want to use the text files that I've created here and in the new premiere, the way you do that is you go up here to graphics new layer and you click text layer, just like that, as clear that created a text layer and then you could just go ahead and type what you want.
I've already done that. So I'm going to delete this one. I'm just going to grab this one and I'm going to bring it over here and I'm going to stretch it all the way to the end of my sequence and I'm going to go ahead and put it in the black area right here on top and then I'll do the same thing with this other one, bring it here, stretch it to the end of my sequence and then I'm going to bring it down to the bottom here and I actually want to increase the file size of this top layer. So I'll come and select it here. The text source, and I just basically want to increase this file size. I'll just go ahead and drag this to be a little bit bigger. There we go and I could always change where it's landing on my page.
I'll put it right there. So now we just need to export the square shape and make sure it exports as a square video. So to do that, I'll come over here to file. I'll make sure the sequence is selected. I'll come to file. I'll go down to export and media and here I have my square shape basically one-on-one to do is match source and it's already doing that 1080 by 1080. I don't want to select any of these other options because it's going to change my aspect ratio that I've custom created right. So is good for Facebook and this is good. I just picked the first one mass sequence setting. I'm sorry, match source and then I'll bring it down here and I want to do two past VBR and I just need to change this to be a little smaller rhino, the fall of 73 megs.
I could make it even a lawyer so I could bring this down to six and 12. That gives me about 45 megabytes. So six, 12. VBR to pass and then I could name my sequence, what I want. I'll just cry on the desktop here and I'll press okay and that's it and I'll just press export and that's how you make a square video for Facebook. This should upload to Facebook. Facebook has got to do a little bit of compression to it, but you give it a really good size to work with. So it should look pretty much the way you have it in the premiere.
