The new size, which is in line with other social media platforms, will be 500px by 375px. This change is set to roll out over the next few weeks and all content creators will be required to comply.<\/p>\n<p>This change is being made in an effort to make YouTube more user friendly and appealing across different devices. The old size, which was 640px by 480px, was not suitable for many different screens and resolutions. With this change, videos will now be easier to watch on phones and other mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>While some content creators are unhappy with this change, it is important to remember that YouTube is a platform that should be accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recording_Videos_With_the_Right_Dimensions\"><\/span><strong>Recording Videos With the Right Dimensions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to recording videos, many people think about the quality of the video itself. However, what many people do not think about is the dimensions of the video. The dimensions of a video are how wide and tall it is. If you want to make sure that your videos are looking their best, you need to make sure that they are recorded in the right dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of video dimensions: standard and widescreen. Standard video dimensions are those that are 4:3. Widescreen video dimensions are those that are 16:9. Most modern TVs use widescreen video dimensions, so if you want your videos to look good on TVs, you need to use widescreen video dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to record a standard video, you can use any width and height that you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Video_Aspect_Ratios\"><\/span><strong>YouTube Video Aspect Ratios<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aspect ratios are the proportions of the width to height of an image or video. The most common aspect ratios for videos are 4:3 and 16:9. YouTube now supports a wider range of aspect ratios, including 21:9 and 2.21:1.<\/p>\n<p>When you create a new video, you can select its aspect ratio from the &#8220;Video Settings&#8221; menu. If your video doesn&#8217;t fit within one of the standard aspect ratios, YouTube will automatically crop it to fit.<\/p>\n<p>However, you may want to choose a different aspect ratio for your video if it better suits your content or aesthetic. For example, a landscape video might look better in 16:9 rather than 4:3.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Image_Sizes\"><\/span><strong>YouTube Image Sizes <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to video, there\u2019s no question that YouTube is the king of the hill.

Additionally, you&#8217;ll need to make sure that the dimensions and file size of the thumbnail are correct.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To create an engaging and eye-catching thumbnail, you&#8217;ll need to use high-quality images or graphics.<\/li>\n<li>You can create your own graphics or find free stock images online.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to choose an image that is relevant to the content of your video, and make sure that it is sized correctly for YouTube thumbnails.<\/li>\n<li>The dimensions for a YouTube thumbnail are 1280&#215;720 pixels, and the file size should be between 2-6 MB.<\/li>\n<li>If your image is too large or too small, it will not be displayed correctly when viewers click on it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: What is the standard size of a video on Youtube?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">A: A few factors affect the answer to this question. The first is the resolution of the video. The higher the resolution, the larger the file size. The second factor is how long the video is. The longer the video on Youtube, the larger the file size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finally, how much compression is used affects file size. Generally speaking, a YouTube video should be around 2-3 minutes long with a resolution of 720p or 1080p in order to be as small as possible while still looking good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What is YouTube\u2019s video size limit?<br \/>\n<\/strong>A: YouTube&#8217;s video size limit is 2GB. This may seem like a lot, but if you&#8217;re planning on uploading a long video, it&#8217;s important to keep this limit in mind. If your file size is larger than 2GB, it will be automatically trimmed down to 2GB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What is the right YouTube video format?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">A: YouTube videos come in all shapes and sizes. So, what is the best format for your video?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are a few different formats you can use for your YouTube video:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Standard definition (SD): This is a resolution of 640&#215;480 pixels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; High definition (HD): This is a resolution of 1280&#215;720 or 1920&#215;1080 pixels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 4K: This is a resolution of 3840&#215;2160 pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Your choice of format will depend on the type of video you&#8217;re creating and the device you&#8217;re using to watch it. If you&#8217;re creating a tutorial or demonstration, HD might be the best option so that viewers can see every detail. If you&#8217;re creating a personal vlog, SD might be better so that viewers don&#8217;t have to wait long for it to load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube is a great way to share your videos with the targeted audience.
