In Alphana, you can easily convert a vertical video to horizontal or square formats, and vice versa. Note that this feature only works for talking videos and does not support videos with no sound or music videos.

    • Create 10 clips, each 30-45 seconds long.

    • Find 5 notable moments and create clips, each 45-60 seconds long.

    • Find 8 sound bites and create clips, each 15-30 seconds long.

    • and so on...

  4. Select the orientation you want. In this case, choose "Landscape 16:9" from the options provided.

  5. Download your video:

    • Scroll to the bottom of the video description.

    • Click "Download".

    • At this stage, you can also change the orientation of the video with the dropdown menu before clicking on "Download".
