Question 1

What are the most common video aspect ratios for social media platforms?

Accepted Answer

The most popular formats include 16:9 (YouTube, Facebook), 9:16 (TikTok, Instagram Reels), 1:1 (Instagram feed), and 4:5 (Facebook/Instagram portrait posts). Each platform favors native formatting to maximize visibility and engagement.

Question 2

Can I automatically convert a 16:9 After Effects video into 9:16 or 1:1 without cropping?

Accepted Answer

Not with native After Effects alone — you'd need to manually reframe or rebuild each comp. However, Pixflow templates are pre-built with these formats in mind, so you can adapt your video with zero manual resizing or cropping issues.

Question 3

How do Pixflow templates help with aspect ratio adaptation?

Accepted Answer

Pixflow templates offer multiple built-in compositions for different aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5) and use smart design principles to keep your visuals intact. Edit once, and the changes sync across all formats — no duplicated work.

Question 4

Are Pixflow templates beginner-friendly for people with little After Effects experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Even if you’re new to After Effects, Pixflow templates are structured clearly, with user-friendly customization layers, guides, and centralized content editing. No advanced AE skills are required.

Question 5

Where can I find responsive After Effects templates for social media videos?
