Why do vertical iphone clips need to exist? The only place I can think of that only accepts vertical footage is tiktok and ig reels, normal Instagram posts don’t even need to be vertical. Also if you really want to post it vertically you can just get a wide shot and crop it. Actually half the vertical shots I see just look like cropped horizontal shots. How hard is it to flip your phone sideways? Really though, society would be better off if people stopped filming vertical
I mostly watch edits nowadays on my phone. Whether its IG posts, IG reelz or just watching clips from my photo album I find I prefer vertical filming. I can't stand when people mix both though and have some shots horizontal and some vertical. Basically to each his own I'd say, I don't think it has to do with laziness or lack of filming skill.

Instagram clips gotta be vertical, movie clips gotta be horizontal
I’ve found that vertical is better for quick, on the fly in the moment follows/quick clips when you’re hands are cold and wet out on the hill..... I guess you could call that laziness 🤷♂️ it’s also just a WAY better fit for IG stories which is mostly when I’m posting quick clips like yo here’s what we skied today.
definitely ran into trouble when I went to make a big season edit with horizontal & vertical iPhone, GoPro, and mirrorless clips and I had to get kind of creative with the editing and the cropping to fit it all together.... my brain almost exploded but I think it came out ok
What more annoying is when people film vertical but upload it like it's horizontal so then you have black space on either side of the video. Can't ever have full screen.
If you film vertical and you edit at 1350x1080 pixels then you can get more of you in frame for insta edits. If you film horizontal for insta you have to crop way more to get the best layout.

Yeah but horizontal shots can be used for Instagram and normal edits but vertical shots can only be used for Instagram
There is no place for vertical filming. It sucks. If you’re filming vertical to get a clip for an IG story or TikTok, stop, flip that shit sideways, and make an edit instead. Way cooler
Phones have vertical screens, a large majority of total media consumed is on phones (i found one estimate at 70%.) Unless you are watching a movie or tv show you are probably watching it on your phone. A traditional horizontal format video takes up less than a third of a modern phone screen while a vertical video takes up 60-100%. The more of the screen that is devoted to content the more it will hold someone's attention. Obviously the average person doesn't think about that much when they shoot a video but I think as a society it is becoming the norm, whether consciously or subconsciously.

Fax...would much rather share my skiing and film on NS cause that’s where core skiers are imo...new podcast with twig opens thoughts about this up. Typical insta shot is literally forgotten after watching it. Meanwhile a banger trick in a 3min edit will be remembered. Ex. Zahners 5 swap in jiberish edit this year. Literally would be lost on the insta feed and forgotten about if not out in an edit imo.

pssssh ... you're spilling the truth - they cant get aware of that.
83% of social media usage is on a mobile device and most popular apps are tailored for vertical video because, one, it's easier to film, and two, vertical video takes up more screen when the device is held normally. This increases engagement.
At my work we try to film stuff pretty wide so that we can punch in at like 4:5 and 9:16 for use on social media for the very reason of more vertical viewership.
