I'm editing some videos for social media.
Stories and things so I need 16:9 aspect ratio

But at the end the quality isn't very good. Even when it's in 4k.
I've tried different size files and different outputs and it's still the same quality.

We'd need more info to help you. Your title says "9:16" but your post says "16:9." Do you mean veritical (9:16) or horizontal (16:9)? Is your project's aspect ratio set to that value?

What's the resolution of your source videos, and which output profile(s) have your produced to?

Yes vertical. My apologies. So 9:16
The original source videos are 2.7k resolution. (2720x1530) at 29.97FPS

And the output I've tried different ones / 720x1280 / 1080x1920/ and 2160x3840

But at the end the quality is very reduced. I managed to get one in decent quality;

The first two profiles you mentioned will certainly give you lower quality because they are lower resolution than your source clips. What happens if you try the Profile Analyzer on the Produce page? If you get a recommended profile, produce to that.

If you still need help, please share a sample clip and also one of the PD versions you're unhappy with so we can see what's going on.

If the clips are smaller than 100MB, you can use the Attachments button below the forum's text box. If the clips are larger than that, upload them to OneDrive or Google Drive. See this FAQ for more details.

I think I've sorted the issue!
It seems to be when I use the "crop" feature to make it the vertical file.

But when I use the corners on the main screen to drag and make it bigger to fill the screen it works. (If that makes sense!)
