The choice between 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 isn’t a question of style but of platform logic. This guide shows which format performs best where — and when you need several renders.
Marketplaces usually show videos in 1:1, social apps in 9:16, your own landing pages in 16:9. Render only one variant and you give away either visibility (letterboxing on social) or conversion (cropping on marketplaces).
Buust renders all three variants per product in parallel — you pick the right one per channel. Your render budget doesn’t go up, because the same source is just computed three times with a different composition.
In theory yes, but then the top/bottom edges are gone and text overlays are often cut off. Better: native rendering per format.
