Turn one whiteboard recording into a YouTube video, Short, and Reel
You can repurpose one whiteboard recording into a horizontal YouTube video and a vertical Short or Reel without recording twice, because Excalicast re-renders frames from the operation stream to fit any aspect ratio.
One take, many cuts
Record once with a crop frame in mind, then export 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. Because the frames are re-rendered rather than cropped from a fixed video, vertical exports stay sharp and well-composed.
A simple repurposing workflow
Export the 16:9 master for YouTube, then export the 9:16 version and add burned-in captions for silent autoplay feeds. Link the long video in the Short’s description to drive cross-platform traffic.

Make a whiteboard explainer for YouTube Shorts and TikTok
Record once on a whiteboard and export 9:16 vertical video for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok — plus 16:9 for YouTube — from the same take.
One recording, every aspect ratio: 16:9 vs 9:16 vs 1:1
Why re-recording for each platform is unnecessary: export 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5 from a single whiteboard take and ship to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Screen recorders capture pixels and break on occlusion or minimization. Excalicast records the whiteboard operation stream for always-crisp, multi-ratio video.
