How to export SHORTS fromAE?

Question

Shorts are becoming an increasingly popular "product". I inserted a few recordings directly from my mobile phone without any problems. But I want to elaborate some "SHORTS" in AE. When I export them, even though they are less than 1 minute long and vertical, YB inserts them as a video. What am I doing wrong? What are the correct settings I should do??? HEEEELP please!!!!

You follow the rules for YouTube Shorts. Vertical format, 1080 X 1920, less than 60 seconds, and if you want to upload them after rendering, they will need to be finished. The Shorts editing app for mobile devices will not be available unless you transfer the edited video to your phone first.

Here's one of about a dozen YouTube tutorials that shows the process for uploading:

Use the Composition Menu to create a new Social Media Comp, import your footage, Make it fit, and then add it to the Adobe Media Encoder. There is no YouTube Portrait preset for H.264, so use the Match Source High Quality or Medium Quality option and render your movie. Then just follow the instructions in the embedded video to upload, label, and share your Short. The workflow looks something like this:
