    What Is Video Aspect Ratio, Anyway?<\/h2>\n

    Okay, first things first: what even is aspect ratio? Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s simpler than it sounds. Aspect ratio is just the proportion between the width and height of your video. It\u2019s written like two numbers with a colon in between\u2014for example, 16:9 or 9:16. The first number is the width, the second is the height.<\/p>\n
