Upload Once, Get Every Format: Vertical, Square, Horizontal — Automatic
Upload once. Vidora auto-renders 9:16, 1:1, 16:9, and 4:5. Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Feed, web product page — every channel gets the right aspect ratio with smart cropping, watermark, and poster image.
What is multi-format rendering?
Each social and e-commerce channel prefers a different aspect ratio: Instagram Reels and TikTok want 9:16; Instagram Feed wants 4:5 or 1:1; YouTube and product pages want 16:9. Manually re-cropping the same content for each channel — checking composition, keeping the subject centered, repositioning watermarks — burns 30-60 minutes per video. Vidora's **multi-format render engine** generates every format from one upload: AI-driven saliency detection identifies the 'important region' (face, product) in the video; the crop window follows it. Watermark, intro/outro logo, and poster image are configured per format. The result: 1 upload = 4 social-ready renders = zero manual work.
How does multi-format rendering work?
- 1
Upload the master video to Vidora (recommended 1920×1080 or higher, 16:9).
- 2
Pick the format combination: 9:16 (Reels/TikTok), 1:1 (Feed), 4:5 (Portrait), 16:9 (Web), 4:3 (legacy), Custom.
- 3
Vidora's render queue analyzes the salient region per second using AI; the crop window tracks the subject.
- 4
Watermark, brand logo, intro/outro are placed per-format; optional CTA overlay is per-format too.
- 5
Each rendered format gets its own URL + native social export (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) for direct publishing.
Who needs multi-format rendering?
For brands running social and e-commerce channels in parallel, multi-format rendering means time saved = brand consistency = more content output.
An accessories brand was producing weekly 16:9 product launch videos for 5 SKUs. Adapting them to social required a separate editor producing 9:16 and 1:1 versions manually — 30-45 extra minutes per video. After Vidora, they upload the 16:9 master once and the system renders 9:16 + 1:1 + 4:5 automatically; weekly savings: ~4 hours of editor time. AI saliency detection guarantees the product stays centered across formats — no more manual crop errors.
Frequently asked questions about multi-format render
How long does rendering take?
+
A typical 60-second master takes 2-4 minutes total for 4 parallel format renders. Render minutes are part of your monthly plan quota; the panel dashboard shows remaining quota.
What does AI saliency detection identify?
+
Faces, body posture, motion regions, high-contrast areas, and OCR-identified text regions. The crop window keeps these centered. When the algorithm's confidence is low, manual crop override is always available.
How are watermarks / brand logos positioned per format?
+
Upload your brand kit once (logo PNG, opacity, position-per-format). The render engine places the logo correctly in each format. Pro+ supports per-format CTA overlays (e.g. 'Buy now' on 16:9, 'Tap link in bio' on 9:16).
What output format / quality do renders use?
+
H.264 + AAC, mp4 container, ~5-8 Mbps bitrate (varies by quality and channel). Adaptive HLS streaming is auto-generated for the player. Premium tier adds H.265 (HEVC) and VP9 codecs.
Can I publish directly to social channels?
+
On the roadmap. Today, rendered mp4 files are downloaded and posted via tools like Buffer, Later, or Hootsuite. Native Meta + TikTok + YouTube Shorts API publishing lands in Q4 2026.
