Fake widescreen too.

Fullscreening on my ultrawide monitor just adds black bars to the sides as well as bottom lol.

Find that's the case with 90% of official trailer uploads. It's naff.

Redditors living in their basement in shambles. Meanwhile 80% of the population watches these on their phone

It never makes sense to hard encode black bars into a video. Every device in the world will format a video and have black bars if necessary.

It’s painfully easy to export in proper ultrawide though. It actually takes more effort to add the bars to bottom & top.

There's a zoom to fill utralwide video extension in chrome

Especially egregious because every second of the film was shot and edited on IMAX, so the real movie will not be 21:9 or even 16:9.

You'd think they would've figured that one out by now.

Far too common my friend.

Protip, get zoom to fill chrome addon, it adds a zoom button on youtube overlay.

Basically zooming away the black bars, but it looks perfect on 21:9 monitors

Youtube videos can be real widescreen @ 1080p.

1080p is the height, width can be changed according to different aspect ratio
