How to export a Douyin vertical video (9:16) on Mac
Updated 2026-06-11 · Runs locally — nothing uploaded
Douyin is China’s version of TikTok, and like TikTok it wants 9:16 vertical video, 1080×1920. A landscape clip uploaded as-is shows up tiny and letterboxed in the feed.
FFmix’s one-click Douyin / Channels vertical preset fits your footage to 9:16 at 30fps and pads it cleanly — no cropping, no command line, and the file stays on your Mac.
Steps
- 1 Drag your clip into FFmix.
- 2 Pick the Douyin / Channels vertical preset (9:16, 30fps).
- 3 Confirm and click Start — the padded vertical file is ready to post.
Advanced: the real ffmpeg command
This is exactly what FFmix runs. Copy it, tweak it, or just use the one-click preset.
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1080:1920:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1920:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1" -r 30 -c:v libx264 -b:v 8M -c:a aac -b:a 192k douyin.mp4Drop a file and go — all local, nothing uploaded.
FAQ
What size does Douyin use?
Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok) uses 9:16 vertical video, 1080×1920, around 30fps. This preset outputs exactly that with a high bitrate.
Will my landscape video be cropped?
No. FFmix fits the whole frame inside 9:16 and pads the sides, so nothing is cut. Want a full-bleed crop? Use the Crop task.
Does this also work for WeChat Channels?
Yes. Channels (视频号) uses the same 9:16 vertical format, so the same preset works for both.
