Player and aspect ratio used for project

Feb 08, 2022

It seems as though a 4:3 project does not fill the player as well as a 16:9 project. Am I missing something here, or should all projects be 16:9 to make best use of the player screen (and avoid wasted vertical bars either side of the main image)?

Hello Mark,

Most of everything we build is 16x9 here at Yukon. There are a few times we are asked to keep things at 4x3, but rarely. The standard size Ipad is 4x3, but that is about the only device where 16x9 is not the preferred choice. Most are watching on PCs, phones, and tablets that are all closer to 16x9.

Thanks Ron - I'm just kicking myself that I didn't notice the wasted space earlier. I had too much faith that Storyline's default setting (4:3) would work beautifully.
