Verticals

Any chance of clips uploaded at 1080x1920 and 720x1280 as being recognized as HD rather than "multimedia"?

I've uploaded many vertical 1920x1080 p HD and they are recognized at HD footage. Still not sure if there is a market for vertical oriented footage, no sales and few views.

What I mean is, rotating the clip to be the correct viewing orientation 1080x1920 instead of 1920x1080 and still be listed as HD rather than Multimedia. A couple of vendors seem to be doing well with them when they are rotated to the correct viewing angle.

I uploaded this clip as an experiment and the preview got butchered:

You need to set the aspect ratio to "Other". I took the liberty & intruded into your privacy and did it.

The not so splendid preview is because things in odd aspect ratio (aka multimedia) have been forced into 4:3 in case there's a bug. Since the antialiasing thing is off for previews at the moment it simply cuts every nth pixel. We could as a quick fix simply start antialias multimedia clips I suppose.

So clips like mine that I uploaded in vertical format still preview in a "side" view. Is it better to leave in the side view or have them rotated? If so, what needs to be done?


Thanks,

We're a bit too busy fixing things the next few days, but here I'd prefer to have some flag on edit_item to tell that this clip is rotated 90deg clockwise so that the player can automatically rotate it back. This way there's no quality loss for the extra conversion step. We'll discuss a bit more what to do here.
