It's exported from 5.3k 16:9 native from GoPro, I think that's why 😁

 

I wanted to publish it as a short on YouTube, and the maximum resolution is 1080x1920, 9:16

 

I want to publish a longer video in a 16:9 format when I am ready 😁

Well let's say vertical video is only good for social networks, for reels or stories or shorts.
If you decide this in advance then you have to pay special attention to framing with the final crop in mind. The full 8:7 sensor format of the latest Gopro generations helps a lot in this but I think the AOI lens vignettes in this mode.
Maybe even if it vignettes you have more room to reframe the image. I don't know, I've never played with it.
Again, I don't know if you have, starting at 5.3K you have the option to reframe the shot slightly. the clown fish are too high. You should remove some of the stones. You can also help by slightly enlarging the image. Resolve works wonders.

I have shot in 16:9 5.3k, the video is just a slice of the frame, my main focus is to make a longer 16:9 video, but I decided to post litte piece as vertical video

On the final frame, i have adjusted higher the shot, but for vertical video, i left a bit of rock, that lie in the part of the social usual covered from comments and description

I have tried to add a bit of description on the short, I still have not decided if it's better or worse 😬

As a fellow video novice, here are things I noticed on the nudibranch short: cool subject; solid lighting; okay music. Didn't like the movement of the camera. And vertical framing seems like forcing an object into an unnatural frame. We naturally take in the world horizontally, and verticals come from an inability to turn the camera horizontally 😉

Found this guy at the end of the dive, just roaming around the sand

My guide told me I was really lucky, he saw it only once in 4000+ dives 😁
