How to Render Vertical Videos from Sony Vegas

Welcome to Polyspawn! I'm Kim, and in today's guide, I'll show you how to render vertical videos in Sony Vegas. Follow these steps to get the perfect vertical video output.

Step 1: Set Project Properties

Start by setting the project properties:

Go to File > Properties.
Select the HD 30fps template.
Change the width to 1080 and the height to 1920 for a tall aspect ratio.
Save this custom template with a name like "Mobile 30 fps" and hit Save.
Click Apply to make these settings active. The preview window will change to a vertical aspect ratio.

Step 2: Adjust Media in the Timeline

When you drag media into your timeline for the first time:

If prompted to match project video settings, click No.
Your media may only fill the center of the screen. To fix this, click on the crop icon.
Change the width and height to match the preview:
- Set the width to 180 and height to 1920.
- Make sure the aspect ratio is unlocked before changing dimensions and then lock it again afterwards.
Use the Size about center toggle to scale the media to fill the screen and adjust the point of interest as needed.

If you have a video shot vertically:

Set the same project settings.
Drag and drop the media into your timeline.
If the video appears sideways, right-click on it, go to Properties, and adjust the rotation angle.

Step 3: Render Vertical Videos

Proceed to rendering:

Go to File > Render As.
Select Magix AVC/AAC MP4 and the HD 30fps template.
Click on Customize Template and adjust settings to match your project:
- Set frame size to Custom Frame Size with width 1080 and height 1920.
- Rename the template to something like "Vertical 30fps" and click Save.
Choose output file name and location.
Hit Render.
