Hey guys, I wanted to do that hack where you film in 1:1 aspect ratio. Actually, the person that I saw do this, she was filming in 4:3 and supposedly this is supposed to allow you to crop either horizontally or vertically. So this is what it looks like if I crop it horizontally. For like, YouTube, long form, etc. And this is if I crop it like what is this? 9:16, 16:9? I don't know. But short form. What do we think? Is it a good hack?
