Modern smartphones feature wider aspect ratios than traditional 16:9 widescreen. 2:1 video looks great on the iPhone X. Here's how and why you can make it work with Final Cut Pro X.

Thanks man
Good video but so slow
Dude – Searched this word for word last week. This the only video on YT demonstrating this ☝️ – Thank you!
I’m considering to make my next video in 2:1. Thanks Jeff!
You should! By the way, nice channel, keep up!
Stay at 16:9 player.
Please continue the 2:1 ratio. It looks great on my iPhoneX
Yes please, I don’t like the notch in videos :p
2:1 my brother
Note: You can also use Spatial Conform instead of manually scaling. Learn more in the full post linked in description.
Why wouldn’t you just say this FIRST in the video?
2:1 Jeff….love this video
As someone who watches both on a TV and iPhone X, the best of both worlds is when a creator shoots in 16×9, but frames their shots in such a way that when you zoom on the iPhone X, it doesn’t cut off the top of their heads. I think this is the best solution.
2:1 is our new format
I think you should do 2:1. I have an 8 plus but the wider aspect ratio makes videos look much more cinematic on 16:9 screens
2:1 would be nice!
do 19.5 by 9 so it fills the iphone x
I’m a bloody idiot. For the longest time I’ve been thinking “Why are you all saying 2:1?! It’s 18:9…..” First now have I realised that 9×2=18 so 2:1 is the same as 18:9…. Doh!
You should export in 16:9 but make the videos optimized so you can zoom and crop on iPhone X and view it full screen. This would make it so people with both widescreen and ultra wide screens can both enjoy a full screen video.
The Aspect Ratio is also know as Univisium and Has been something that Oscar winning Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro has been promoting for some time. Netflix, I believe, are only accepting content in the 2:1 format. Just a little trivia for you. 😉
