Frame phone clips for a clearer sequence
Make more of your phone clips. Pick the main subject, check the edges and choose a frame that works before you join portrait and landscape shots.

Phone editing notes
Turn an uneven camera roll into a sequence that still feels like the day, trip or event you remember.
What these guides help you decide
Phone clips often mix orientations, frame rates and very short moments. Start by deciding what the viewer needs to understand, then keep only the clips that move that idea forward. Check important faces and subjects before converting landscape footage into a vertical frame.
These guides cover framing, selection, ordering and export checks without assuming a particular phone model. Current device limits and platform specifications can change, so model-specific instructions are added only when they have been verified against a primary source. Keep the original clip available so every crop can be reconsidered.
Before opening the editor
- Confirm that cloud-backed recordings are fully downloaded and can play before adding a large batch.
- Notice whether portrait and landscape clips need separate edits instead of one forced crop.
- Listen for speech, wind and abrupt audio changes before choosing the final order of shots.
HDR and SDR: check the colour workflow
Check HDR phone footage before you edit. Choose the right output, test a short export and compare the colours before you process a whole project.
