You actually don't need to be familiar with either of those other apps.
What I should have made more clear is that both approaches are
very simple, and I'll show you the steps for VDub2 here. Once you've downloaded the files, it's literally 2 steps to get a 1:1 video!
Download
VirtualDub2 and install it. Download the (5) VDub2 project files from this OneDrive
folder. That's all the setup you need!
Next, open up
VDub2 and go to
File >
Load Project.
If you're converting a standard horizontal 16:9 clip to 1:1, load the
16_9 Horizontal IG 1_1.vdproject. If you have a vertical phone clip, load the
9_16 Vertical IG 1_1.vdproject. If the clip ends up horizontal by mistake, try again with the
9_16 + rotate Vertical IG 1_1.vdproject*.
Now use
File >
Open video file.. to open your original clip, which can be produced by PD or come straight from your camera, then use
File >
Save Video... and choose the output name and location. That's it!
There are also 2 clips in the OneDrive folder. One is a PD-produced vertical clip (Instagram test.MP4) and the other is the 1:1 clip (Instagram test final.MP4) made by VDub2 using the "+ rotate" project file. It's also up on
YouTube.
*NOTE: I've added preset projects for all vertical orientations that need rotation, and the names describe which direction the source video will be rotated:
9_16 + rotate left 90 Vertical IG 1_1.vdproject
9_16 + rotate right 90 Vertical IG 1_1.vdproject
9_16 + flip 180 Vertical IG 1_1.vdproject
