Lila I use the adjustment layer- crop/multiply mask method which allows me to adjust for TH-cam/Instagram later on 🤠 (Vegas pro user lately!) Sometimes I have short promotional sponsored clips so the crop method is very helpful for changing on the fly!
Hahaha I think most of us did. I have some very dramatically embarrassing videos from when I was younger. 😂 saying that was epic actually made me brush off again! 😜
Hiii! thank you so much! unfortunately that's not possible by changing the aspect ratio. However, you can create fake white bars by creating a color matte (white) and crop it to a bar size. Then copy it (hit alt and hold alt while you click and drag on the color matte layer) and reposition both to make them look like white bars :) I hope this helps!!
Lila, I'm proud to say " I knew her When!", because you are on your way to the top. You, your content an editing style is fun to watch. Now I have to go make my own video today possibly using the black bars. :)
Hey monica! If you use 1080p footage it would be 1920x960 and if you're using 4k you want to change the aspect ratio to 4096x2048. Go to Sequence in the top menue, sequence settings, and change it there :)
Hmmm. Warp stabilizer now works with different aspect ratio ? I don't use premiere pro anymore, but until the cc2018, the stabilizer didn't work on a 16:9 file if the timeline was set to a 21:9 aspect ratio
I have to admit I haven't tried that before! But I would assume that if it causes any problems, nesting would solve that. I'll try it out and I'll let you know 😊
@@noelguanzon8660 awww thank you!! For what it's worth, I really like epidemic sound, but I've used musicbed before and they are really good too. I would recommend getting the free trials to see what you like :)
Havent you noticed youtube is not putting the black bars in most cases? is just adapting the player to your aspect ratio. But with some youtubers like sam kolder they always have the black bars not matter what.. do you think they are putting the black bars in?
You are right, but when you watch videos full screen, the bars will appear! And yes they do add black bars. Go check out one of sam kolder's videos in the lowest resolution and you'll see that the bars are very blurry aka baked in like I mention in this video. 😁
Hi, great video, but I'm confused as to why Premiere doesn't say that the ratio is 21:9? When you changed the horizontal & vertical pixels, Premiere says the ratio is 4096:1713, not 21:9. I am trying to do this 21:9 ratio for a music video shot on a Canon t7i in 1080, not 4k. Any tips on how to do this?
Not yet but i will! I haven't started working on it but my goal is to release a course in 2021! 🤞 if you want you can sign up for my newsletter so you will get updates and be the first to get it (I'll probably offer some sort of discount in my email haha). mailchi.mp/c2aa7105a35d/lila

@@lilafromyoutube I'm loving it so far! I'm actually editting an old video my friend made and just putting the black bars into the broll has made a huge difference.
Hahaha fountain of knowledge, I'm a visual thinker and that just got really weird! 😂 thanks chris, happy to have you here! Let me know once you've put it into action! 🙌
Hello. Could you help? You know what to do if, for example, part of the video is filmed with a phone, but part with go pro and go pro video has a black frame on both the side and the top and bottom :) What to do?
hiii! that's correct, because using that feature will make sure all of the video is in frame. If you want to remove the black bars, you need to cut off a bit of the video, which is why it doesn't work that way. There's a new effect now called "auto reframe" and you can simply reframe the entire sequence by clicking on the sequence in the project panel, click "auto reframe sequence" and choose the aspect ratio. What you can also do is scaling up the video until the black bars on the sides disappear and then right click on motion in the effects control panel. Then click on "save preset" and now you can apply this preset to all the clips in one go! Select all the clips on your timeline and apply the preset and it's all reframed to how you want in seconds. :) I hope this helps!!
@@SaladeFrisee you're welcome! For future reference: divide the first number (the width) by 2.3. If you can't remember the number, just divide the aspect ratio and you'll get it. Same goes for 16:9 for example. 16:9=1.77(bunch of numbers here)... and 1920/1.77= 1080!
@@lilafromyoutube Yeah, I always remember it as 1.77 for 16:9 because on the back of most DVDs it gives it in that ratio (although it normally either says 1.78 or more commonly 1.85 and I understand that this has something to do with the film because of the sound 'track' at the side of old film, so it would add width that wasn't actually in the picture. I used to love all this stuff; I remember when I bought my projector, I sat there doing the maths on how big every size of TV was in actual square metres as opposed to just "58 inches" or whatever. Let's be honest it was so I could flex about how much bigger my projector screen was. Great video! I think I'm happy with 16:9 for now, but I like the 2:1 smartphone idea!
Hey, thanks! Do you mean when the bars go down? The exact same way as I show in the video to create moving black bars :) Just increase the percentage until they reach the middle and create a black screen :)
DCI 4k is 4096 x 2160 but the 4k I shot on a A7siii was 4k UHD 3840 x 2160. Whats the "correct" frame size in premiere for that do you know? still divide by 2.3?
Hey Lila, I have a question about this. Do I have to shoot a specifc way to get the 21:9 ratio to look right when I edit? or I can edit any piece of footage with that?
Good question. I would recommend to shoot a little wider, because you'll probably have to scale up your video to fill the 21:9. I may be wrong, though!
okay so I put my sequence in 2:1 but my footage got smaller so I watched a similar video to this one and they said scale it to 200 afterwards so I did and my footage still didn’t fit in I recorded off my iPhone by the way
You don’t need to scale it to 200% unless you changed the settings to 2:1 4K instead of 1080p (assuming you shot your video in 1080p). If you filmed your videos in 1920x1080, in the sequence settings, change the frame size/ratio to ‘1920x960’ and then scale it up to about 110%. If you filmed in 4K (4096x2160), in the sequence settings, change the frame size/ratio to ‘4096x2048’ and scale it up to about 110%.
Why all the top cinemetic creators like sam kolder and taylor cut films dont use the aspect ratio way?? They all use png, you can clearly see it when you watch their video at low resolution.. if you check many top creators are doing this for some reason
yeah I know. I don't have a clear answer for that. I think most of them use the crop effect. I usually do the same because I want to animate the black bars and you can't achieve that with changing the aspect ratio.
i upload to facebook and youtube with a frame size of 1920 horizontal by 803 vertical which gives me black bars in youtube but fills the phone screen but only allows me to play it back in 720p rather than 1080p on facebook but on youtube it allows me to play back in 1080p. does anyone know the reason for this as last year I uploaded a video to facebook with same aspect ratio and it allowed me to play back at 1080p?
I don’t have any experience with uploading to Facebook. If you exported both videos with the same settings, I don’t know why you’re having a problem. Maybe someone else has a suggestion!
I know you're talking about youtube but just so you know, you can't deliver a random res to a streaming network or a distributor. They have strict guidelines. If they ask for HD it has to be 1920 by 1080. So if you deliver HD and want the bars, you need that adj layer. That's why filmmakers use it and clueless copy cat youtubers clone it without knowing why filmmakers do it. Some distributors also reject black bars altogether and they'll be very clear in their deliverable requirements stating that No Black Bars should be in the video.
Makes sense! I don’t think it’s fair to call TH-camrs clueless copycat TH-camrs. It just works differently on here. Obviously when you produce videos or films for other purposes, do your research :)
Yes! You can change it by going to sequence > sequence settings in the top menu or if you want to e.g. turn a video into a vertical video, you can use the "auto reframe" effect which you can find when you search for effects
Great tips, Lila! Question for you: I shoot in C4K (4096x2160 or 1.90:1), and generally export for TH-cam in UHD (3840x2160 or 1.78:1). So that difference naturally gives me small black bars on top and bottom, without having to do anything special during my editing. Do you see any downsides to doing it this way? The benefit of doing it this way for TH-cam delivery (I think) is that when I'm editing in a C4K timeline, I'm using the full height/width of the sequence, so I'm not having to either crop or place bars over parts of my original image. The only real downside I've found in practice is that I have to upscale 1080-120 footage an extra 7% to fill the full width of the sequence, but Premiere handles that pretty well. Anyway, just wondering if you see any other potential issues with changing the aspect ratio upon export rather than during editing. Thanks, and keep up the great work! 🙌
It sounds like a pretty smart solution, but I'm afraid it will give you the same result as placing the bars or cropping the video by using the crop effect. You'll see what I mean if you lower the resolution of your video to 144p. Your bars become blurry too. If you lower the resolution of my video (2:1), you see that the black bars are still sharp. It's not the end of the world of course, most people probably watch your videos in good enough quality, but it's something to think about for sure! Let me know what you think! Thanks Brian!!
Really enjoyed the video and the info! Love the transitions when discussing the 2:1 ration. That’s was very clever. Came over from Cody’s vlog. Just subscribed!
This is a video tutorial, not a photo tutorial haha. I'm not sure why you would want black bars on your photos, but I would try creating black bars in Photoshop.
@@Muwa6 that's certainly a way of doing it, but in that case you don't have any control over the framing of your video. if you change the sequence settings to 4k 2:1, you can reposition and adjust the frames to get the best result :) if it works for you, just keep doing it, it's just something I want you to be mindful of! have fun editing:)
@@Muwa6 oh yes of course! I actually show how I do it in this video (timestamp included, if it doesn't direct you to the time, it's around 3:00): th-cam.com/video/u5au3DiKN1k/w-d-xo.html I show how to make a new sequence and change the sequence settings, I use 4096x2048 :)
Why would you want to add black bars??? It's much more immersive to fill a screen then to make the video content small on someone's screen because one third of their screen has black bars!
why does adobe premiere make everything so complicated??? Letterbox should just be an effect that you drop onto the clip and adjust like FI-NAL- CUT- PRO
@@lilafromyoutube cause my Mac can’t handle all the 4K footage :( so now I use premiere on the computer my friend built and premiere is actually better lol. I learned how to color correct from your tutorial :)
every editing software has the ability to change aspect ratio me who uses wevideo nope, not at all black bars.png it is then also I do use a wide screen lens when I film
Thanks for the feedback. It's never my intention to waste anyone's time. I always try to get to the point, but I also want to provide some context/explanation and entertainment. It's a delicate balance haha. Sometimes i do well while other times i talk a little too much 😂 I try my best tho! This vid is quite old now so HOPEFULLY I've become better at it, lol

The benefit of doing it this way for TH-cam delivery (I think) is that when I'm editing in a C4K timeline, I'm using the full height/width of the sequence, so I'm not having to either crop or place bars over parts of my original image. The only real downside I've found in practice is that I have to upscale 1080-120 footage an extra 7% to fill the full width of the sequence, but Premiere handles that pretty well.
Anyway, just wondering if you see any other potential issues with changing the aspect ratio upon export rather than during editing. Thanks, and keep up the great work! 🙌
It sounds like a pretty smart solution, but I'm afraid it will give you the same result as placing the bars or cropping the video by using the crop effect. You'll see what I mean if you lower the resolution of your video to 144p. Your bars become blurry too. If you lower the resolution of my video (2:1), you see that the black bars are still sharp. It's not the end of the world of course, most people probably watch your videos in good enough quality, but it's something to think about for sure! Let me know what you think!
Thanks Brian!!
@@lilafromyoutube Well would you look at that? Thanks, Lila!
@@BrianSellers you're very welcome! ❤
I changed that my aspect ratio to 3840 x 1920 and it’s not going me that full screen. Anyone have a similar issue?
Really enjoyed the video and the info! Love the transitions when discussing the 2:1 ration. That’s was very clever. Came over from Cody’s vlog. Just subscribed!
Hiii! Can I call you Tom? Will you be using 2:1 from now on? 😉 Lovely meeting you, I hope I will see you around on the channel!!
How I can do this on my photos?
And how can I upload photos to Instagram without losing quality??
This is a video tutorial, not a photo tutorial haha. I'm not sure why you would want black bars on your photos, but I would try creating black bars in Photoshop.

Thanks💙
Your voice kind of reminds Lily from HYMYM!
And we only differ one letter!
Sorry but why aren’t my bars black when I use the adjustment layer
What colour are they
@@lilafromyoutube transparent... I don’t know why
@@Xyy792 thats weird. Make sure the adjustment layer has the same dimensions as your video and play around with the crop values.
@@lilafromyoutube I found why it doesn't work: I have enabled the transparency grid. Thanks for you interesting
Nice one Lila! Frnd! #31
Thank you so much!!
how do u do it for 1080 ?
If you want to stick to 1080p, I would suggest to create the black bars by using the crop effect like I show in the video :)
What an doin now is havin the bars on the 16:9 aspect than I export 4K 2:1
I think that should be fine , amazing channel keep it up
@@Muwa6 that's certainly a way of doing it, but in that case you don't have any control over the framing of your video. if you change the sequence settings to 4k 2:1, you can reposition and adjust the frames to get the best result :) if it works for you, just keep doing it, it's just something I want you to be mindful of! have fun editing:)
Lila can you tell me how to do it your way where I can change the aspect ratio to 2:1 before I export ? That’s why I asked,
@@Muwa6 oh yes of course! I actually show how I do it in this video (timestamp included, if it doesn't direct you to the time, it's around 3:00): th-cam.com/video/u5au3DiKN1k/w-d-xo.html
I show how to make a new sequence and change the sequence settings, I use 4096x2048 :)
Starts at 2:50
5:42 the much awaited moment in the video for me
hahaha why?
Why would you want to add black bars??? It's much more immersive to fill a screen then to make the video content small on someone's screen because one third of their screen has black bars!
Hahaha fair point. That's why changing your aspect ratio is a better option!
Good
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSYAYAYAYAYAUSUSYSYSUSUSAYAYSYAYSUSYSYAYSUAUSUAYSUAUSUAUSUAUSUAUS calm down again... WELL DONE ON 500 SUBS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg I know!!!! It's crazy but I love it!
I'm from indonesia .how are you
Hi! Im doing fine thanks, how are you?
@@lilafromyoutube I am also fine
@@lilafromyoutube You are beautiful
Glad to hear it, and thanks!
why does adobe premiere make everything so complicated??? Letterbox should just be an effect that you drop onto the clip and adjust like FI-NAL- CUT- PRO
Haha why don’t you just use FCPX? 🙃
@@lilafromyoutube cause my Mac can’t handle all the 4K footage :( so now I use premiere on the computer my friend built and premiere is actually better lol. I learned how to color correct from your tutorial :)
@@lilafromyoutube as well as your cinematic title tutorial
0:05 that's a lie, I like black bars
Now can you teach me how to remove it
Just delete the adjustment layer
every editing software has the ability to change aspect ratio
me who uses wevideo nope, not at all black bars.png it is then also I do use a wide screen lens when I film
Whatever works for you :)
Firstttt
Yaaaaaaaayyyy je bent terug!!!! 😁❤😁❤😁❤
Ik heb je gemist drol!
You talk for way too long, just get to the point. Just some constructive criticism, it’ll make your vids better
Thanks for the feedback. It's never my intention to waste anyone's time. I always try to get to the point, but I also want to provide some context/explanation and entertainment. It's a delicate balance haha. Sometimes i do well while other times i talk a little too much 😂 I try my best tho! This vid is quite old now so HOPEFULLY I've become better at it, lol
Jesus Christ how do u it yapping
