Is there a way to make a "native" square format (Instgram)
or 1.9:1 (Instagram also) format?

I keep having to jerry rig my 16:9 to 4:3 and then "force" it to look better and it comes out like crap.

Thanks for your time in advance!

Really tearing my hair out over this.

Seems bizzare. In 2019 suqare format and the insane popularity of IG (I do not like IG, i'm just forced to use it for promotion) should just be built in. -- A merry heart doeth good as a medicine --

Searching the forum will usually bring up the answer you're looking for, and it's much quicker than posting and waiting for a response.

There's an entire thread dedicated to exactly this. There are also several others with different workflows, if needed.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I actually have been running an online forum for 18 years and am well versed in the virtues of seraching. I guess I was using the wrong search terms. What I kept finding was not an answer specificly to what I was asking. -- A merry heart doeth good as a medicine --

I certainly meant no disrespect. The key search words for me are "square" and "Instagram" along with "aspect ratio," and I made sure to put each of these in the title of my post to make it as easy to find as possible.

My reply was also encouraging future, possibly less savvy, viewers to use the forum search feature, since so many issues have been asked and answered here many times over.

In any event, I hope that the steps outlined in the linked post were helpful to you!
