The longer we prevent vertical videos from happening as a society the better off we will all be for it. Our eyes aren't designed to watch vertical videos. Continue the good fight.
- baby 5y agoHonestly the fight is lost with instagram and tiktok
- savolai 5y agoHm. I am not sure if your comment is sarcastic. So the following may be a waste. But I’ll follow it. Is your thesis that video should not be moving full screen on mobile devices in casual usage, i.e. Without the user rotating their device? To expand on this, should mobile device camera apps warn users to not shoot portrait video due to being ”unergonomical”?
- mlindner 5y agoMy thesis is that the most natural way of viewing videos is with a longer axis in the horizontal than in the vertical. Users should rotate their device to watch videos. > To expand on this, should mobile device camera apps warn users to not shoot portrait video due to being ”unergonomical”? Mobile phone camera apps shouldn't even understand the concept of shooting footage in a vertical direction.
- savolai 5y agoThe boat you are wishing for seems to have already sailed. Social apps are growing / have grown a generation that ejoys vertical video as a medium of its own. So whether vertical video is unnatural seems debatable either way at this point.
