Vertical videos are the work of Satan

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.

It's because we didn't shame them hard enough. Now look where we are.

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'm STILL insulted. Portrait videos suck to look at.

Best reason ever to be rid of TikTok.

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 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.

Should be illegal really, jail time.

My unpopular opinion is that whatever you record should consider the format it'll be viewed in as well as the orientation of the subject in the video. Is it going to be viewed on a phone, one handed, while someone is eating or pooping? Then vertical might make sense. If the subject fits better in a vertical video, then that makes sense as well.

Fuck tiktok/shorts

I don't mind either way to watch something. But what really shits me is the vertical video that has added padding on the sides to view in landscape. Or the other way around. I can't see anything when watching on my phone either way then.

On one hand, most of them are just selfies anyway, so portrait mode makes sense to frame the only subject and thing worth looking at. It also is easier to watch on a phone held with just one hand.

On the other, if you're taking shots of the landscape put that fucking shit in landscape mode. Please.

One day TV makers are going to switch to 9 by 16 screens, vertical portrait mode TVs on the wall. Im from the future. Check back in 10 years, you will see.

Thanks to tiktok...

Non-landscape videos give me mental discomfort.

I started filming in 1:1 ratio. Sorta best of both worlds

Every time I see someone film vertically I send them this YT video /watch?v=xL23Xvv1Pis (was not sure if I'm allowed to post links here). I just think it's a brilliant and underappreciated parody.

TBF I kind of got used to portrait videos but I still block YT shorts and alike as most videos in that format are garbage anyways.

I still think landscape video and portrait video are two completely different beasts, and one should not be converted into the other.

I am still waiting on 21/9 TV to buy...

I still do. Depends on what you are filming, 9 out 10, landscape should be the go to.

Insulted? Vines videos were mostly portrait. 2013-2014 were most-likely its hay day. Vines is dead now, but cell phone videos in portrait were posted to Vines a lot.

Now if you mean music videos or cinema, yeah, portrait would be odd.

Who the fck does such a stupid thing?
