Vertical layout file

I think it'd be nice to introduce a new layout suited for editing vertical videos, as they are more and more common these days.
I've created such a layout for reference (based on the current Effects one), and attached it.
Also attached is a screenshot of how it'd look.

Thx!

Excellent idea! Especially since we plan to introduce a welcome screen allowing to configure vertical profiles at startup:

Will have a loot and try to integrate this for 25.12

Excellent! 😊

I'm thinking it'd be just great to have a safe areas overlay suited to social media too.
I've just researched the net for this kind of overlay and made a reference image (attached as PNG and .kra). 
It should be suitable for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube shorts.

...maybe it's too restrictive in general, and at the top especially, but I based it on what I saw at several sites. 🤷‍♂️

Now implemented in 25.12.0.
Thanks a lot for the layout and safe area files!
