What is the best TikTok video size?

1080 × 1920 pixels, vertical 9:16. Export at the frame rate you edited in; 30 fps is the most common for TikTok.

Can I upload a 16:9 video to TikTok?

Yes, but it plays as a small band in the middle of the screen with bars above and below. Reframe it to 9:16 to fill the screen.

How do I turn a horizontal edit into a TikTok?

Reframe it so the subject stays inside the new frame. Premiere Pro’s Auto Reframe, Final Cut Pro’s Smart Conform and DaVinci Resolve Studio’s Smart Reframe track the subject for you; otherwise scale the clip up and position it by hand.

How do I set up a vertical timeline?

Premiere Pro: create a sequence with a custom frame size of 1080 × 1920, or run Sequence › Auto Reframe Sequence on a finished edit. Final Cut Pro: choose Vertical as the video format when you create the project. DaVinci Resolve: when you create the timeline, untick Use Project Settings and set the resolution to 1080 × 1920.
