VERTICAL Interview Video Templates for Social Media

Have you tried to edit long-form, landscape interviews into square or portrait videos for social media?

It's a bit annoying. And the layout gets even more complicated when you have more than two people on screen.

Most traditional media (TV, films), as well as most YouTube videos, use a landscape aspect ratio of 16:9. However, social media platforms such as Instagram reels, TikTok, and more recently, YouTube Shorts require portrait (9:16) aspect ratios for publishing content to their platforms.

If you are a podcaster or a livestreamer who is focused on interview content AND you want to repurpose your regular landscape interview videos to be on those social platforms, you will want to know how to edit them to fit social.

In this article, we will share a variety of interview video templates with you to tackle your editing and repurposing effort for interview videos with two or more people.
