Horizontal videos come to Twitter
Since the advent of smartphones and the generalization of photos and videos There has been a serious problem regarding format Serious in the most artisticof the word. And it is that the vertical format goes against all professional video recording philosophy Against the evolution of video screens cinema, monitors and televisions, which have been landscaped to simulate the field of vision of humansSomething that seemed to have been corrected with the square format characteristic of Instagram when placing the mobile vertically , and that the social network Twitter had also adapted for its own videos. But now a new update offers to follow the horizontal evolution, allowing users to create landscape videos from their mobiles.
The social network Twitter has lagged behind in terms of video, the trending format on social networks. Yes, it has the option to record, edit and share, but it was late and limited to 30 seconds Enough to show all followers the context of a news item, an event, or a mere tweet. However, it hasn't been as successful as Vine or Instagram videos. Still, they continue to improve this feature to deliver a video experience that lives up to expectations.Something that now also allows the landscape format
In this way, you just have to start writing a new message or tweet and click on the camera icon When the gallery is displayed you will also have to click on the camera again to activate the lens of the terminal. At this point everything is ready to record, as it was before. The difference is that, now, it is possible to place the terminal horizontally and click on the video icon to take advantage of the full range of the lens.
Just like in previous versions, just keep pressing the record button to capture the moment, lifting your finger when want to pause and create a new take within the same video.Of course, always taking into account that there is a maximum limitation of 30 seconds to record between all shots. A time that may fall short for some things, but that offers enough content to summarize news and facts. And if not, ask Vine, who has been doing it for a long time with only six seconds.
Once the recording is finished the tools of editing are still present in this horizontal landscape mode. Thus, it is possible to switch between the different takes, change their order or delete any of them With this it is possible to finish the video and publish it next to the original tweet, offering a landscape view instead of the square format to which we are accustomed.
A change that has come automatically, without the need to update apps for Android or iOS An update by the Twitter servers which is appreciated, although it will most likely not end up drawing attention to users, who may continue to use other social networks or the camera application of the terminal to record and publish.
