Adjust Overlay Settings for Different Aspect Ratios

Changing Aspect Ratio Guides

Composition Shaders allows you to switch between different aspect ratio overlays to match your intended output format. Common ratios include 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3 (standard), 1:1 (square for social media), and others. Access your shader settings to select or cycle through available aspect ratios.

Why Aspect Ratio Matters

Different platforms and displays use different aspect ratios. By matching your overlay to your target format before composing your shot, you ensure nothing important gets cropped or stretched when your content is viewed elsewhere.

Testing Your Composition

Switch between aspect ratios while framing your scene to see how your composition adapts. This is especially useful if you're creating content for multiple platforms—you can verify that your shot works well in 16:9 for YouTube and 1:1 for Instagram without repositioning. Adjust your camera angle or zoom until you're satisfied with all relevant formats.
