Cinema8’s video editor supports teams creating and managing vertical video content within a secure hosting environment. Vertical videos can be edited directly in the browser, resized to suit mobile-first viewing, and organised alongside other content in a central video library. Captions, text overlays, and branding can be applied to ensure clarity on smaller screens, while hosted sharing options make it easy to distribute videos professionally. By combining editing and hosting in one platform, teams can manage vertical video content consistently without fragmented tools or workflows.

A video editor for vertical videos is designed to create and adjust content specifically for portrait-oriented viewing on mobile devices. Rather than working with horizontal layouts (which can look small when viewed vertically), these editors support vertical aspect ratios so text, captions, and visuals remain clear on smaller screens. In Cinema8, vertical video editing is combined with video hosting, allowing teams to prepare content and manage it in one place.
Cinema8 allows vertical videos to be edited directly in your web browser. Teams can resize videos into vertical formats, trim content, and add captions, text overlays, interactive elements, or branding without installing desktop software. Browser-based editing makes it easier for teams to collaborate, update content quickly, and manage videos alongside their hosted library.
Cinema8 is built to support vertical viewing by ensuring videos are formatted clearly for smaller screens. Captions, overlays, and branding elements can be positioned so they remain readable in portrait layouts. Additionally, hosting vertical videos in a dedicated platform ensures consistent playback quality and a professional viewing experience across devices.
Vertical videos are shared through Cinema8’s secure hosting platform using links or embed codes. This allows teams to distribute content professionally on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or X, or share videos directly with clients and internal stakeholders. Hosted sharing provides more control than file-based sharing, including consistent playback and managed access.
Teams that regularly create mobile-first or short-form content benefit most from a vertical video editor combined with hosting. This includes marketing teams, social media managers, and organisations sharing updates or announcements in video format. Having editing and hosting in one platform helps keep content organised, reduces workflow complexity, and ensures vertical videos are shared consistently and securely.
