Twitter is interpreting my 1:1 videos as 16:9 - so I'm getting the dreaded white bars on either side

Hello lockdown editors!

 

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this twitter video upload issue? This is the spec of the 1:1 video I'm trying to upload (exported using premiere twitter settings) and this is what happens when I try to tweet it! Horrible side bars! thank u!!

Correct answer Just Shoot Me

After viewing your screen shot I think that is normal. The viewer ratio is 16/9 so you will always have free space (white/black bars) on each side for videos/images that don't have that aspect ratio. Normal and nothing you can do about it.

 

Your original post sounded like Twitter was STRETCHING your 1:1 format to 16:9. It is not. It is showing it in its original format, 1:1.

Ask over on th Twitter support forums. This problem has nothing to do with Adobe.

No need for an apology.

And if you read my other reply below there is nothing you can do and it is not a problem with either Adobe PP or anything on twitter. It is what iit is and the way it is supposed to be.
