Create a vertical music video for TikTok

Build a 9:16 music visualizer or lyric video that keeps artwork, words, and motion legible in a vertical frame.

Build for the vertical safe area

Set the project to 9:16 before adding type. Keep the focal artwork and lyric lines clear of the top and bottom interface areas, and use contrast that remains readable as the motion changes behind it.

What to expect

  • Select 9:16 before export.
  • Leave breathing room around lyrics and artwork.
  • Preview at phone-sized scale before exporting.

Make a cut that can stand alone

A vertical music visual should communicate quickly. Test the first seconds, the point where the track changes energy, and the final frame; each should feel deliberate without relying on a separate horizontal version.

Helpful details

  • Choose a short, representative section if you are publishing a clip.
  • Export locally at 720p or 1080p.
  • Publish only when you are ready to share the final file.
