Clip shapes: vertical, square, GIF and audio
The five clip shapes in Lynx (video, vertical, square, GIF and audio) and how to move the frame so your subject stays in view.
| Shape | What you get |
|---|---|
| Video | The part you picked, in the original shape, at the quality you choose |
| Vertical | 9:16, for phone screens and stories |
| Square | 1:1, for feeds and profile videos |
| GIF | A looping GIF without sound |
| Audio | Only the sound of that part |
Reframing
When you choose Vertical or Square, a frame appears over the picture to show what will be kept. Drag the frame left or right to keep the subject in view. The area outside the frame is dimmed.
Vertical, square and GIF are part of Pro (free during your trial).
