Set the aspect ratio for the screen it plays on

A field service enablement manager at an HVAC contractor built a widescreen lesson on refrigerant recovery for laptops in the shop. Technicians now watch on phones in the truck, and the practical steps get cut off in portrait. He needs the lesson fitted to a vertical player without losing the step labels and gauge close-ups.

A widescreen lesson is adapted to a portrait preview without cutting off the practical steps.

• The manager opens the lesson in Creation Studio and sets the target to a 9:16 portrait player.
• Elvina recomposes each scene for the new frame, moving step labels and gauge inserts inside the safe area and re-wrapping subtitles.
• He steps through all 18 scenes in the portrait preview and flags two where the gauge insert overlaps the narration text.
• He adjusts those two scenes by hand, then exports the portrait version alongside the original widescreen one.

A fictional contractor, Summit Air Mechanical, trains 45 technicians on refrigerant recovery. The lesson Recovery-Procedure-v2 has 18 scenes at 16:9 with step numbers in the lower left and a manifold gauge insert in the upper right. The receiving screen is a company phone.

• Sixteen scenes fit the portrait frame with step numbers moved to the top and the gauge insert enlarged below the presenter.
• Two scenes needed manual repositioning where the insert and subtitles collided.
• Technicians could read step labels at arm's length, which the manager checked on an actual phone in the yard.

Inspect every scene for crop, subtitle wrapping and safe areas. Resizing is not the same as recomposing.

• No scene crops out a step label, a gauge reading or a hand position that the narration refers to.
• Subtitles wrap to no more than two lines and stay inside the player's safe area.
• Aspect changes are saved as a separate rendition, and the original widescreen lesson is unchanged.
• The portrait version was viewed on the actual device class it is meant for.

Fitting a lesson to a new ratio is recomposition, not magic; a scene designed around a wide layout may need a person to rearrange it. Elvina handles the routine cases and flags the rest. It does not know which visual element matters most for a safety step, so the enablement manager reviews every scene before technicians receive the portrait version.
