Aspect ratios like 4:3, 1:1, or vertical videos like 9:16 are generally a better choice there. If you're delivering to social media like Instagram or Twitter, then even narrower aspect ratios are a good idea as it takes up more space on the feed and makes your video stand out more. Wider aspect ratios don't work well on small screens as the video will look very 'small' - and often with services like YouTube, the majority of your viewers will be watching on their cell phones. Which aspect ratio you pick is really an artistic/aesthetic choice, but where you are planning to share the video should also be considered. 16:9 is a far more common aspect ratio, and is what you'll normally see on TVs, computer monitors, and probably about half to two-thirds of cell phones.

When you are editing, you generally want to be editing at the same resolution as the footage you are working with.Įditing at a higher resolution than your footage won't make your footage look better, rather it will just be zoomed in to fill the frame.Īspect ratio is the shape of the video - how 'widescreen' it is.ġ920x800 is 2.39:1 Full HD aspect ratio, often called Cinemascope. Resolution is how many pixels are in the image.
It’s better to crop imagery slightly than to have pixels only extending partially into a new line.Those are different resolutions and aspect ratios. Value’s have been rounded down rather than up so that image data is never caught halfwayīetween framing and blanking. This has been done to better supportįield encoding, codec requirements and general sanity. From version 2.2 onward, all ratios that don’t divide perfectly have been rounded down to their closest even integer. This has been done for pragmatic reasons as we assume that most that are targeting a strict 2.39 ratio are doing this to match a Scope aspect ratio in cinema. It always pays to check what your destination is expecting to receive from you rather than trying to convince them you have it the right way round! 2.39 aspect ratios have been calculated based on Digital Cinema Scope 2.39 aspect ratio which is actually 2048/858 = 2.386946386946387. When it comes to anything between 2.35-2.44 we find it's best to look at your target destination and run with their predefined spec. As a result – all variants are included in this document. Having said this, there are times when delivering at 2.40:1 is actually required rather than 2.39:1 - Bluray's spec for anamorphic/scope content is one example.
2.35:1 was used in films prior to 1970 and 2.40:1 is an incorrect rounding from 2.39:1 to 2.40:1.
Note: Many people refer to 2.35:1, 2.39:1 and 2.40:1 but these days they are usually all referencing the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Below is a cheat sheet for the resolution to use when exporting for various aspect ratios and frame sizes. If you spot any faults or have any suggestions for updated versions, please let us know. Calculating out the required resolutions for particular aspect ratios can be a little tricky so we’ve created a cheat sheet to help simplify this process.
