Opmerkingen (uit de bronnen, in het Engels): Square or vertical videos up to 3 minutes are classified as Shorts (standard channels: uploads after 2024-10-15; Official Artist Channels: after 2025-12-08). Help says Shorts can be uploaded at a maximum resolution of 1080p; the 1080x1920 figure is an industry recommendation. Shorts over 1 minute with an active Content ID claim are blocked globally. Use 16:9 to avoid Shorts classification. File types: any YouTube-supported format (subset listed).

Bij 9:16 dekt de app delen van de boven- en onderkant van je video af. Controleer je beeld met de [safe zone checker](https://shortformkit.com/nl/safe-zone-checker/) of download de [safe zone templates](https://shortformkit.com/nl/safe-zone-templates/) als PNG.

Bereken bitrate en bestandsgrootte met de [bestandsgrootte-calculator](https://shortformkit.com/nl/video-bestandsgrootte-berekenen/). Controleer de lengte van je caption met de [tekenteller](https://shortformkit.com/nl/tekens-tellen/).
