Two small but important updates to the Publishing tool: automatic post type selection for YouTube and aspect ratio adjustments for Instagram.
YouTube. Automatic selection of the post type
When you upload a video, the platform will suggest a post type based on the video size and duration.
You can upload short videos of 3 seconds or more to both Shorts and the YouTube feed.
There are also new settings:
- Kids Restrictions (whether the video is intended for children or not);
- License (opportunity to choose between the standard YouTube license and Creative Commons).
Instagram. Automatic adjustments of media aspect ratio
Since Instagram has special requirements for the aspect ratio of media, we have added an option for the aspect ratio of images to adjust them to the platform’s requirements automatically.
To configure this function, you need to go to the Settings section and select the type of adjustment separately for images and videos:
- with or without margins (with the ability to choose the color of the margins);
- auto cropping is the automatic process of cropping an image or video to remove unnecessary or unimportant parts to draw attention to the crucial elements or improve composition.
