Hi Tony,
Thank you again for your reply and for taking the time to troubleshoot my issue some more. Of course, AFTER (ha ha) I uploaded the video to Facebook, I thought back in my mind about it and realized that I could have done the custom 16:9 thumbnail to have it display before the video starts. It's a learning experience. :![]() I think I prefer doing the "Add Thumbnail" vs. your second recommendation. But, again, I appreciate both options. So, I'll know better next time.
Thank you again, have a super evening, and a great (soon) upcoming weekend! :![]()

Good morning Tony,
Thank you SO much for your reply and for having taken the time to test out the video issue. I thought for sure I was doing something wrong. But, when you followed through with actually viewing a vertical video on Facebook correctly and learned it does not show before being played being in the vertical position, I realized I had jumped the gun. :![]()
Oh, and as for the custom profile, I just did that so I can name it for a specific purpose. I must say though, that the fact that the video shows horizontally before being played, reaks a bit of havoc on the aesthetic part of the video - at least the one I made, as the first image has text on it which is all skewed before being played. Maybe the FB folks have a ways to go to truly adapt the vertical format within FB posts. Would be nice if they could display the proper orientation from the get-go.
Oh well . . . at least I know, now, that it works. I have since uploaded my short video and did discover that when played, it re-orients itself correctly. Again, thank you for the time you put into testing and replying to me. Hope you have a great Friday and a super weekend!!
Sincerely,
Sheila

Hi All,
I updated my PowerDirector 16 (to Version 16.0.2524.0) to use the new 9:16 aspect ratio to produce a vertical video for Facebook. I created the video from .jpg images that I pre-sized in PhotoShop to 1080px Wide X 1920 px H and 72 ppi. Set the Aspect Ratio in PD16 to 9:16 before beginning the project.
I ceated a simple video with only fade transitions between images. No title text.
"Produced" to H.264/mp4 - used a custom profile changing the resolution to 1080 X 1920. Left frame rate at 29.97 fps. Produced the video but it is horizontal when played. Also horizontal when uploaded to Facebook.
What am I doing wrong????? Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Oh, in case it matters, I'm running PD16 on a Windows 7 Pro Lenovo T430 laptop. Thanks a bunch!
