    That’s not recent…

    Black bars get added to both formats often, sometimes back and forth until the video is a tiny rectangle and 90% useless black space

    And people still talk shit about when someone used the wrong one to record.

      I’m relegated to just talking shit on people who clearly have a copy of the original video, but upload it to the internet by playing it on their screen and shakily pointing their phone’s camera at it rather than just uploading the fucking file.

    i still judge people who film in portrait tbh. I can’t stand vertical videos, it’s the main reason i never made a tiktok.

      Hell, even Tiktok allows horizontal videos, even instructs you to turn the screen if it’s vertical!

      Their children’s eyes will grow closer and closer together from one generation to another until no one has depth perception past the front of their face. /s

          No, that’s because she IS attractive and you are being weird, shitty and judgmental. Like you’re allowed to have whatever beauty preferences you want, but idk why you are going out of your way to call her unattractive.

            Anya Taylor-Joy

            Her eyes are too far apart and her head is oddly proportioned to her chin. She isn’t UGLY or anything but she isn’t that attractive.

    I still don’t like vertical videos. My natural field of view is landscape and portrait feels crowded and stressful. Also vertical videos have to be watched 2-3 times to see everything, because the person filming has to pan the camera so much, and they usually move too quickly. It’s like everyone forgot that a phone can be rotated.

    I wouldn’t mind quite so much if it was because the people filming that way believed it looked better. But the real reason is usually because they are too dumb to think of turning their phone on its side.

      Sometimes tall things fit better in a vertical frame.
      Sometimes wide things fit better in a horizontal frame.

      But most of the time this isnt even thought about when taking the shot.

        The horizontal display is meant to reflect our natural vision which is also a horizontal aspect ratio. There are niche scenarios like skyscrapers but the vast majority of the time it’s correct to stay horizontal and frame the shot properly.

      Everything is doing it already. Good luck watching a “horizontal” video uploaded to Instagram from your desktop browser.

      Well that, and the fact that its a Chinese PsyOp to sow discord and manipulate people into ridiculous, insane behaviors.
