Is 18:9 the BEST Aspect Ratio for YouTube? - How to Change Aspect Ratio to 18:9 for BETTER Videos

[@Mark-Callis]

Thanks for making it so simple. There aren’t a ton of videos explaining how to do this yet and I truly believe this will become the new standard as people absorb more and more content on their mobile phones.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Thanks so much, Mark 👍🏼I definitely prefer this method. It even looks better when using letterboxes for 21:9 as well since more of the screen is filled up.

But the old videos in youtube is 16:9 ratio mostly. Then no settings that 16:9 can stretch to 18:9...sorry for my english...

You have to manually set up dimensions for an 18:9 aspect ratio in your video editor so that you can frame the footage to fill the screen in that ratio.

18:9 aspect ratio is a PIECE OF GARBAGE TBH if you're using a device with 19:9, 20:9 & 21:9 aspect ratio. No offense man but 16:9 is still the BEST option for most of us viewers cuz with 16:9 we still have the liberty to zoom the content whenever we feel doing so. I know some may argue that in terms of landscape 18:9 is better to avoid the notch on iPhones and some Android devices but for some modern Android smartphones that uses 19:9/20:9, 18:9 still shows a weird slightly cropped rounded corner (which is not as pretty as a real bezel of a smartphone) and doesn't give you the freedom to zoom and fill the screen instead. And even most devices nowadays with a high resolution cameras for taking videos (like for instance Samsung Galaxy phones, like the one I'm using) still uses 16:9 as their aspect ratio on 8K (7680x4320) , 4K (3840x2160) and 2K (2560x1440) video recording functionalities. So I believe all creators should still support 16:9 aspect ratio for 18:9 is not good enough and we're not yet in the state where we can use 21:9 aspect ratio perfectly particularly on mobile devices where most people watches KZbin videos and other streaming sites more than EVER. #NoHate #JustSaying #Respect.

[@distar7471]

Honestly I never liked 16:9 either as the lack of height clearly nerves me. Not for gaming, not for content, not for reading or viewing pictures. I know TVs weren't always like this, and there was always some spot for 8:5 to be shown. Seriously though, I would've stuck with 8:5 if I were in their position. Content would make so much more sense in this view and it would mean less looking around, since the bigger the screen, the more you need to look around to see everything. It becomes too much for the eyes to recognize at once.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Yes, it still will. I set my 4K videos as 3840x1920 and it still recognizes it as 4K when uploaded so the same concept should work for 1080p. It's still the required width of 1080p when it's set to 1920 so you are good.

It depends on what aspect ratio you are using. But if you are trying to make a wide angle “cinematic” look with 2.35:1 bars then it’s going to cut off the top and bottom because the original footage is 16:9. Nothing you can do about that (and it happens to everyone’s footage).

That’s a setting you need to change in Premiere. I use FCPX, but my editor for my fitness videos uses Premiere and he accidentally checked the “360” or “VR” mode that exported as a 360 video. I’m not sure where that is in Premiere but check the settings in the program and on the export to make sure there is no 360 option checked. He said it had automatically checked after he updated the program once.

[@BenEncounters]

I already made that change quite some time ago. But I like the QuadHD resolution, which is 2560x1440p in the 16:9 aspect ratio. So for the 2:1 aspect ratio, I have been uploading 2880x1440p which seems to work fine and displays as one of the resolutions available in the settings of the video. But you are doing the adjustment differently, retaining the horizontal pixel count instead of retaining the vertical pixel count. If I follow your logic and want to publish QuadHD 2:1 retaining the horizontal pixel count it would be 2560x1280. I wonder which is best therefore for KZbin? I do like the idea of smaller file sizes for sure.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I would just record everything in the normal 16:9 aspect ratio in 1080p or 4K if you have that option. If you want to change something to 18:9, then you would do that in editing. Just know that a small portion of the top and bottom of you video will get cut off when you edit it to a wider aspect ratio.

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

@@CamberFilmSchool Thanks for that help! Editing is a whole new l language for me. Steep learning curve. Spent weeks just deciding what editing software I think I could learn the easiest, not necessarily which one is the best. I'm learning VSDC. My goal is to make motorcycle touring, camping & maintenance videos. When I open the GoPro 7 Black box do you think I should I use 60FPS? Stay safe and well.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I'd go with 24 fps if that's an option or 30 fps if there's no 24 because 24 fps is what looks most natural to people (because that's what we've seen in movies for decades). If you are wanting to have something in slow motion, then use 60 fps and you can slow it down to 24 fps when editing which will make it look like slow motion. If you search my channel for Frame Rates, you'll find some videos explaining that more.

@@CamberFilmSchool Thank you for caring. I just subscribed, "Roger Bacon" the account where I started years ago and do most of my research.

If you setting up the aspect ratio for a video that you are making, then you'll want 2400x1080 for FHD 20:9 or 4800x2160 for 4K 20:9.

So do I have to fill the screen or do I have to fit the screen if whenever I fill the screen my image part is cropped out and when I fit the frame is too small than aspect ratio especially for a short movie competition?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Part of your video will always get cut off when you change to an aspect ratio other than what was recorded. I would fill the screen and frame accordingly. I point in doing that aspect ratio if you’re going to leave empty space in the frame.

[@raaladam1]

for the life of me, i can't seem to figure out the best aspect ratio for IGTV. does this work?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Not sure. I haven’t used IGTV. I’ll have to look into it.

[@Ozninjaguy]

Great video. A Q: If a video is filmed with the phone vertical (which when posted takes up only the middle portion of the screen), can it be converted to fit the whole screen, or does the phone have to be horizontal?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Nope, you'll need to film with the phone horizontal in order for it to fill a 16x9 screen. Or you could zoom in really far but you'll lose the top and bottom thirds of your footage.

Bro what will be the FHD resolution for 19.5:9 aspect ratio display?

2340x1080

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I’m not sure what you’re asking. How to set it up in premiere pro?

[@M4MotoVlogs]

@@CamberFilmSchool 😅 Let me explain. For 18:9 video of a FHD footage, we set 1920×960 in the sequence setting in premiere Pro. Then my question is. What resolution we've to set to get a 19.5:9 aspect video in the sequence setting of premiere Pro? Hope you get me, if you still didn't get my question then leave it no problem brother.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

That’s what I was talking about earlier when I said 2340x1080 (which is 19.5:9 for 1080p). Because KZbin may not recognize it as FHD if you keep it at 1920x886 because you’re cutting a lot more off of the 1080p vertical resolution. This way using 2340x1080 to get your 19.5:9 aspect ratio it stays the same height of 1080 and you just have to increase the size of your original clip to fill the full amount of the screen. (You figure it out by dividing 1080 by 9 which equals 120 and then multiplying that by 19.5 which is 2340).

[@BGTech1]

18:9 is definitely the best! Maybe 18:9 will become the new standard

[@CamberFilmSchool]

That would be cool.

[@BGTech1]

@@CamberFilmSchool yea it would be. tv and Monitor manufacturers would have to make their screens different though. I’m sure it will move on to 18:9 just like years ago we changed from 4:3 to 16:9

[@CamberFilmSchool]

There’s no telling. I only see them doing that if television shows started being shown in 18:9 since that’s the majority of what people watch on their TVs.

Great video. I see a lot of channels and their videos on my iPhone X fill the screen with no space at all. I’m trying to experiment and upload some 4K videos but there is always a little either side. I wonder what they’re doing

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Ben James, if it’s filling your whole screen on an iPhone X, then they are probably using a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

[@benjimenlockwood]

Camber Motion thank you very 👍

This is very helpful! So you mentioned 16:9 is for youtube but it does give those boarders so should I try 18:9 if the editing app has that option? I am brand new just 3 videos! Chose to just go for it two weeks ago on my 63rd bday! Found your channel when searching ratios. Looking forward to watching more of your info.. ps I subscribed 😊👍🏻

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I like the way 18:9 looks better because it fills up more of the screen on most smart phones. If your editing program lets you set custom dimensions then definitely go for it. Don't worry if not though; 16:9 is just fine.

[@hoyember]

hi camber i tried doing this 3940 x 1920, to maximize the phones screen sideways. but i still get that black bars on the side. i was shooting using a6400 16:9 1080p, then just scale my footage to 200% in post. Then i export it at the same resolution 3940 x1920. I don't know what went wrong

Your phone’s screen has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. If you use 2340x1080 then it should fill up your entire phone screen.

3840x1920 is the standard 16:9 ratio of 4K. You could also do 4160x1920 and that’ll still be a 19.5x9 ratio @ 4K resolution.

[@leonardotakanashi333]

I record my videos in 19.5:9, because I often record my cell phone screen, which is this format, but when I record videos with the camera, I usually post in 4.3, to give that feeling vintage, but I'm also going to start recording in other formats to see which one works best for me.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

It depends on what you’re watching it on because every screen has a different aspect ratio.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

If you set your video as 16:9 and overlay cop bars, then it won’t fill up the screen the same way. It’ll looked cropped. You have to actually set the dimensions to 18:9 to force it to stretch out and look like mine.

Hi Camber! Thanks for the Video :) I was just wondering, when you export a video with this ratio, does KZbin automatically recognize that? Because when I uploaded a video that was exported from Adobe Premiere with 18:9, it still had black bars on the desktop version. Do you know how to fix this? Thank you so much!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

There will always be black bars if you are watching on a screen that is a different size than 18:9. Since most people watch videos on their smartphones, that's why I like 18:9 because it fills up the entire screen. When I say KZbin recognizes the aspect ratio, I mean that it will allow you to use all the functionalities like end screens on your videos. KZbin will allow you to upload just about any aspect ratio you want to make up.

personally i would go with 2160:1080 because if you reduce the height it becomes 960p otherwise

Yea, but you have to stretch it if you go that route (I actually use 2160x1080 most of the time now) it can reduce quality a bit

@@CamberFilmSchool yeah but if you reduce height you'll lose pixels as opposed to stretching the same pixels
