Areeb Mirza demonstrates a concise workflow to convert horizontal (landscape) video into vertical 9:16 format. Key steps: take a screenshot from Premiere Pro (Control+Shift+E), open Photoshop Beta and create a 1080×1920 file, use Generative Fill to extend top/bottom, export the filled layer as a PNG, drag it onto the timeline above the clip, nest layers and add slow-zoom keyframes for motion. The tutorial is short, practical, and software-specific.

Let me show you how to convert landscape videos into vertical videos in 30 seconds. Place the video on your editing software. Make sure to color grade it first. If you're in Premiere Pro, hit Control Shift E to take a screenshot or just click this icon. Now open Photoshop Beta. Make a new file 1080 x 1920 and drag and drop the still. Make sure it's in the center. Select the top and bottom part. You can select both of them simultaneously by holding Shift or do them separately. Now on the generator fill part, type in, complete the image or fill in the image and there we have it. You can play around with it, but once you found the perfect one, export that layer by itself by going to file Export export as quick png Drag and drop that file onto your timeline above. And that's how simple it is. One last step will be to nest all the layers and add some keyframes to give it that slow zoom effect. This just helps add some motion, giving it that final touch.
