I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

[MadPropzBaller]

Thank you so much! It works!

[lucky2kay]

That got the borders off the top but they're still on the sides, anyone know how to get rid of the ones on the sides

[JOSHItheDrako]

@lucky2kay

rendering it in the right screen ratio. this only gets rid of yt's extra borders, not those made by unfitting ratio.

[iLooveCOD]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for everyone who is saying its not working you're making one of the 2 mistakes i first made.. You're either writing "yt:stretch:16:9" instead of "yt:stretch=16:9" The FIRST ONE DOES NOT WORK. Another reason why it isn't working is because your tag box is full.. Clear everything in your tags box and type "yt:stretch=16:9" and then type in your tags to make sure the main tag fits.. It will work 100% :) Thank you!!!!!!!

[GradientGhoul]

Thank you! fixed my walkthrough problem :D

[aelissa39]

Huh, it still doesn't work...? =(

[Rumz97]

Ok its not working anymore! Still good trick!

[Eidelnos]

@Rumz97 it works, i just used it ^^

[Rumz97]

@Eidelnos Yeah it does now. It took me a little while to understand it. Also the code I wanted wasn't up there. If your video is 4:3 and the rest of the content is HD then enter the code 'yt:crop=4:3' without the quotation marks. Check out my videos in full screen to see what I mean! Thumbs up so this can help people!

[Rumz97]

Your a life saver dude! Thanks!

[3Krypt0n]

woooaw u just fixed my problem .....

I was getting angry about these stupid borders

thx alot mate !!! :D

[DeMurker]

Should this still work? I can't find the button/link called "Edit Video" :-/

[imwithstupid39]

@DeMurker now when you click on your video, on top of the title there should be settings saying edit info, edit video, edit annotations, etc... you should click on edit info now and scroll down to the tags to enter it in

[Zoarial92]

Oh my word - I love you! I've been uploading videos as a gamer for about 2 months now and every video had the black borders. Thanks so much! :D

[halocodftw]

thanx alot

[quiffuk]

love this, such a simple solution to a problem that i thought would take hrs of changing resolution and conversion to fix.

just one thing, how does this work?

Thanks alot

[quiffuk]

@quiffuk ok, so i thought it worked and it did on my monitor but as soon as i started to play it on my tv it came up with the borders again.

any suggestions

[imwithstupid39]

@quiffuk youtube has built in formatting codes which you can use in the tags

[assafon71]

Thanks it helped !! :)

[megansgotminaj]

[djthomasx]

OMFG I LOVE U

[julianbarry]

legend! love it

[TechnicalDifficult]

Thanks!

[JeffryandFriends]

This is great!!!

it works if u spell stretch correctly

[rwos14]

@imwithstupid39 is it just "untick maintain aspect ratio" or is it something else, cause that works too. Problem is that things turn out a little stretched

[rwos14]

@imwithstupid39 who doesnt at this stage

to clarify, yes, I do

[rwos14]

it works if you spell "stretch" correctly

[rwos14]

@rwos14 nah its cool. It worked perfectly fine

[kbplaya123]

@rwos14 did the yt:stretch thing work for u in removing black borders??

[rwos14]

@kbplaya123 on most occasions, yes. If you're using Sony Vegas, do it in HDV 720-25p, even if not in HD. Another way is to right click files, click properties and then deselect "maintain aspect ratio".

[kbplaya123]

@rwos14 i dont use sony vegas. so can i just go to my videos right now, that have black borders around them, and go to edit and tags type in that stuff in the tags and the borders will go away even if i dont have sony vegas.

[rwos14]

@kbplaya123 yep, it should help anyways

[kbplaya123]

@rwos14 hmm i just tried it and some of the clips in my video had no more borders but some still had the border on the top and on the bottom. Why is this?

[rwos14]

@kbplaya123 im not sure, but it could be file type. Some of my older videos that I applied this to didnt work. All of the ones I rendered in wmv (windows media) worked perfectly

[rwos14]

I think you mispelled "stretch"

[rwos14]

@rwos14 on second thought, yeah, cool. Please do

[TsEnergizer]

Tyvm it worked.

[Angeleys2]

Your video has no sound

[imwithstupid39]

@Angeleys2 i didnt put sound?

[thomasloves]
