## What it is

The Shape row in Studio turns the same take into any feed’s shape: 16:9 for X and YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 1:1 for feed posts and LinkedIn, and 4:5 for the Instagram and Threads feed.

In the tall and square shapes, the camera follows your clicks so the important part stays in frame. Show safe zones shades where TikTok, Reels and Shorts put their buttons, so you keep your content clear; the shading never goes into the export.

    Export
    
    Click Export…, or use the arrow by Export to save all four shapes at once.
    

## Tips

-   Turn off Camera follows clicks to fit the whole recording inside the frame instead.

## Questions

Do I need to record in a tall shape?

No. Record as usual; Studio makes the tall, square and wide versions from the same take.

Do the safe zones show in my video?

No. They are only a guide on the preview and are never exported.
