Your Animoto video is aligned horizontally, but you’ve got a bunch of vertical shots that you absolutely love. What should you do? Well, we created a list of some great vertical-friendly video styles that’ll make your vertical photographs pop.

Check out this video, with photos by wedding photographer Marcus Bell, to see what we mean:

Timeless

Photographer and co-founder of Fstoppers, Lee Morris, co-designed this simple, elegant style that lets you show two vertical images at once without any cropping images to landscape.

Proof Sheet

Create a proof sheet of your images in a style that captures the drama of the darkroom. Dynamic transitions between photos keep viewers’ interest and highlight your photos, regardless of orientation.

Rustic

This style presents photos in wooden frames and gives them a warm cast. The evocative style of Rustic works well for vertical photos since the animations in it accentuate your work, sometimes presenting as many as three vertical images in a frame.
