Choose the final delivery
Decide whether you are exporting a true 5120x1080 video, placing a 5120x1080 strip inside a vertical social post, or creating a transparent overlay for another timeline.
5120x1080 guide
Build ultra-wide cinematic strip edits without guessing the frame.
Use this guide to decide when 5120x1080 makes sense, how to generate the overlay, and how to place it in CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, OBS, and mobile editors.
5120 x 1080
Workflow
The correct order: delivery, frame, edit, test.
Generate the frame
Open the 5120x1080 Frame Generator, keep Letterbox for a clean matte or switch to Film Border for sprocket-style visual language, then export the transparent PNG.
Build the edit
Place footage inside the ultra-wide strip. Use slow pans, landscapes, products, architecture, or UI walkthroughs. Avoid close-up talking-head shots unless the crop is intentional.
Export and test
Render a short proof first. Check sharpness, captions, and social compression. If the strip feels too thin, generate a 21:9 or 32:9 version instead.
Editor paths
Use the same overlay, but respect each editor's canvas workflow.
CapCut / VN / InShot
- Start with a 9:16 social canvas when posting to TikTok or Reels.
- Import the 5120x1080 overlay as a top-layer image.
- Place your footage inside the strip and keep captions outside platform UI zones.
Premiere Pro / Final Cut
- Create a 5120x1080 sequence for true ultra-wide output, or a 1080x1920 sequence for social delivery.
- Place the FrameGen PNG above the footage layer.
- Use scale and position controls to compose inside the visible frame.
DaVinci Resolve / OBS
- Set the timeline or scene canvas first.
- Add the transparent PNG overlay as the top visual layer.
- Lock the overlay layer before color, effects, and final render checks.
Use it when
Ultra-wide works best when the subject reads horizontally.
Panoramic landscapes, city shots, travel routes, and architecture.
Product lineups, car shots, packaging rows, or UI walkthroughs.
Music video moments where the strip creates deliberate cinematic distance.
Multi-panel layouts where several clips sit in one long composition.
Ready to export
Create the exact frame before you edit.
Start from the dedicated 5120x1080 generator, then move into your editor with a transparent PNG overlay that already matches the job.
