Choosing 9:16 versus 16:9 before generation
Check the frame selector in the tool alongside your 6-second or 13-second video length and confirm generation is currently available before submitting. The 16:9 horizontal option provides a wider view across the straw room, which naturally fits the side-by-side spacing between the tiptoeing performer and the seated observer. The 9:16 option formats the clip for vertical phone screens, but selecting it does not guarantee automatic composition adjustment or keep every movement centered across the entire sequence.
Why cropping a horizontal clip later cuts people out
Because the straw-room scene places one standing dancer and one seated spectator at different horizontal and vertical positions, manually trimming a 16:9 export into a narrow 9:16 rectangle in a phone editor can crop one person out of the shot. A center crop on a widescreen video can easily cut off the seated observer on the side or trim away the dancer's tiptoeing feet near the bottom edge, especially when you replace both people and want both faces visible.
Reviewing both characters before posting
Follow our guide on how to make a Rumpelstiltskin AI video to submit your photo with the currently available frame. Once processing and soundtrack attachment finish, open My videos to download and watch the full MP4. Inspect the dancer's face and feet from start to finish, and verify that the seated spectator stays visible across every cut before you crop further or post your Rumpelstiltskin video on TikTok.
