Why is vertical video a bad idea? Have you taken one? Why?
Vertical videos are a bad idea because most video outlets are created for horizontal videos. Vertical videos suffer the threat of being cropped incorrectly or simply having to see the video in lower quality. The black borders that appear on the screen to modify with the vertical video is dead space that could have been used more effectively. In addition to the problem with platforms to export, many editing softwares do not regard vertical videos as an option, and it is fairly difficult to professionally edit a vertical video.
I have taken vertical videos, especially when I post on apps such as Instagram and Snapchat. Instagram and Snapchat are both designed to be seen vertically, and vertical videos increase the amount of space taken up by the video on a mobile device. Posting videos on these apps horizontally makes more dead space than a vertically taken videos. Many famous filmmakers post vertical videos on these apps. Youtube also had an update where a vertical video with black borders are available to be seen vertically in full screen on a mobile device.
