Jan 6, 2019 at 1:23 comment added Hashim Aziz @stib Even today, very very little content can be guaranteed to be only seen on a mobile device. Casual users may view content on mobile phones, but that isn't an excuse to punish users who still use a dedicated desktop/laptop. Best practice should be to cater to the desktop experience first by shooting video horizontally as has always been the case - a mobile user can pretty easily rotate a horizontal video being watched on social media, for example (swiping down + pressing a button to change orientation is hardly effort) but the inverse isn't true of a desktop user watching vertical video.

Jan 5, 2019 at 19:21 comment added user3643 @stib Because no streaming platform treats vertically shot video like that. If you want to push new standards, fine, but don't neglect the fact that there'll be a long period before acceptance where it's certainly not better for users.

Dec 6, 2018 at 3:38 comment added stib Vertical video is not a crime! If you're shooting content that will ultimately be viewed on a smartphone, why punish yourself and your viewers by shooting in landscape and forcing them to either turn the phone around (which often involves some fiddling around with settings) or watch the video super small.
