1:1 Square Video Editing Guide
How do you convert a portrait product clip to a square feed post without losing the object at the top or the price at the bottom?
Concrete example
Example: a 20-second table-lamp reveal shot vertically with the switch near the lower edge.
Reproducible workflow
Place the lamp at the optical centre, move the price to a separate manual text layer, and split before the hand reaches the switch so the second crop can follow it.
Known limitation
Square framing reduces vertical context. If the action depends on full body height, record or publish a separate portrait version.
