Ep. 002 - You're doing "cinematic" aspect ratios ALL WRONG

You're doing "cinematic" aspect ratios ALL WRONG!

While I understand the desire to make certain videos feel "more cinematic," just adding black bars overtop a normal video canvas is NOT the way to go about it. No no.

This is a follow-up to my original "You're doing "Cinematic" aspect ratios ALL WRONG!" video from April 2017. The YouTube player has updated again in a good way, and I thought it was worth returning to this topic with a bit more clarity now that I have a wider audience.

Both the default view and theater view of YouTube's player adjusts to the aspect ratio of the original uploaded file, and it adapts to the screen aspect ratio if black bars are NOT baked into the footage. If you bake them in, it can ruin the viewing experience for everyone.
