Make Normal Widescreen Video for Youtube

YouTube, after years of complaints over the size of its video player, has changed to wider size since Nov, 2008. And then did you find more complaints about the black bars around your video? Do you know the proper settings to get perfect 16:9 widescreen video for Youtube? Read on this article and you will get all answers to receive better video viewing experience on Youtube.

The Letterbox Bar and Pillarbox Bar



As you could see in the above figure, the black bars around the video (windowboxing) ruin the view experience completely. This is probably because letterboxing is added to create 4:3 video from 16:9, meanwhile, pillarboxing is also added by the widescreen player. So you are recommended to upload original 16:9 video to Youtube.

In DVD Slideshow Builder, you could easily get blackbar-free Youtube video by project settings (through Settings button on top) and settings in the Video Advanced Settings dialog, shown as below. Before saving video, make sure you have set the Resolution to 16:9 aspect ratio.

Generally, 1280x720 is recommended. However, for a smaller size of video, you could use other resolutions. To decide the resolution, just divide width by the height, if the result equals to 1.777777, that is 16:9 widescreen video, which could be played perfectly on Youtube.




Note that if your media sources are in 16:9 aspect ratio, everything is perfect to make widescreen youtube video, but if mismatch ratio happens, adjustments are required. In such cases, either cut or stretch media to keep the specified aspect ratio. Otherwise, keep the mismatch aspect ratio and black bar is unavoidable.

 Here is the 16:9 widescreen video on Youtube (High Quality) created with Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder.
