Why crop-from-16:9 fails

A widescreen film cropped to a phone cuts off the action and puts text in the unsafe zones. Native 9:16 kits compose for 1080×1920 from the first shot, with a safe area for UI chrome. How-to: YouTube Shorts in 9:16 with Claude Code.

Questions

What size is a native 9:16 Short?

1080×1920 pixels. The kits compose for that frame from the first shot, with a safe area for the app's buttons and captions.

Do I need a camera or my own voice on screen?

No. The films are drawn and animated in code, so a faceless channel needs no footage. You can add a voiceover made with a voice that runs on your computer.

How many styles are made for Shorts?

46 of the 126 styles are tested as native 9:16 films, and 7 styles are free to try.

Will every channel look the same?

No. Change the cast, names, topics and script, and bring your own research. The kits give you a look and a structure, not a channel's content.
