I have been creating GIFs in photoshop and if they are horizontal, once exported they are fine, But, for some reason when I try exporting a vertical GIF black borders show up on the left and right sides and I can not figure out how to get rid of them. Every-time I try changing the size of the file or the resolution it changes how big the borders are but I can't completely get rid of them. Help!

The size of your GIF is 1649 px x2361 px. But when you render the video the size is set to 600 x 1100 px. This is a horizontal format so Photoshop makes the black borders to fill in the empty space. Just change the size to 1649 x 2361 px and your GIF will be OK.

What does your Image > Image Size show? (Please don't change the resolution, use it to check. It's the size in PIXELS that matters).

And what size is that material in the video, in pixels?

This is the last formatting I tried to export as, I am not sure how to find the size of the material in the video. I think each image is about 2001 × 3000
