in this video we're talking about aspect ratios more specifically we will talk
about some of the most used aspect ratios how you can use them to your
videos correctly and what values you need to type in your projects or
sequences to create a video in that aspect ratio but what is an aspect ratio
aspect ratio is basically the frame size that you're suing your video have you
ever noticed that the black bars on top and bottom of the screen often called as
cinematic bars or maybe on an older movie the black bars on the left and
right of the screen that is called an aspect ratio now the mathematically
answer is that an aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of width to height
of any mods a four by three aspect ratio means that for every four inches of
width in any mods he will have three inches of height in mathematical terms
that comes out of the screen being 33% wider than in the sky a 16 by 9 aspect
ratio means that for every 16 inches of width in any mods he'll have nine inches
of height unlike the four by three aspect ratio is
16 by 9 aspect ratio is 78% wider than height so let's begin with a 16 by 9
aspect ratio 16 by 9 is the standard for everything widescreen DVDs are 16 by 9
1920 by 1080 HD video is 16 by 9 I live in a 4k Ultra HD is a sixteen by nine
format that is a standard for all film and digital media so whenever you pick
you up your camera your cell phone your video camera whatever it is it is
shooting a sixteen by nine format also the video you're just watching right now
he said to 16 by 9 aspect ratio if you want your video to have a 16 by 9 aspect
ratio you will have to use the values that you see right here for 1080 and for
4k videos now we make it a little bit wider we are getting an 18 by 9 aspect
ratio 2 to 1 as is most often called so if you want your video to have an 18 by
9 aspect ratio these are the values that you have to
use this is the aspect ratio that newer forms and even some computer screens use
also one thing that I like about this aspect ratio for YouTube is that it
creates a small leather boat on top and bottom when you see the video on a
sixteen by nine screen that creates space for the title of the video in the
timeline at the bottom if we get it even Y then we will get a 2.35 to one aspect
ratio this is the aspect ratio that gives us just a little bit more
cinematic feel to our videos here are the values to use the 2.35 to one aspect
ratio for your project but lifts up now a little bit to the past and take out
the 4:3 aspect ratio back in the day when movies were sold on film most
movies had the four by three aspect ratio that's why many of the old TVs
look like boxes because they had an aspect ratio of 4.3 so it was
essentially sold in kind of square so it could feed on the square of film that
was being fed into the camera so no white screen that's the kind of a box
this aspect ratio is great if you are planning to use any super 8 film effect
look or VHS look into your videos you will give this vintage feel a more
complete look and these are the values that you will have to use next we have
the 4 by 5 aspect ratio and these are the values you have to type in to using
the 4 by 5 is perfect for Instagram feed posts has it will cover more space as
the user Scrolls down in the field so the video will get more attention to
your viewers eyes now if we revert the 16 by 9 to a more vertical point of view
we get the 9 by 16 and this is the Studdard aspect ratio of vertical videos
this aspect ratio is perfect for Instagram Facebook and YouTube stories
tick tock Heidi Devine and also is the ratio you get when you suit with your
mobile phone vertical these are the values that
you'll have to use to get the 9 by 16 one important tip for this aspect ratio
coming from the master of vertical filmmaking Jessie driftwood is the suit
with your camera or cell phone in a vertical mode to avoid losing a ton of
information from cropping your videos later in post
