How to get rid of the Black Borders on Youtube videos without Reuploading

Quick easy fix without reuploading

I had so much trouble fixing this problem so I posted a short video explaning how to delete the borders

Tag: yt:crop=16:9
(zooms in on the 16:9 area, removes windowboxing)

Tag: yt:stretch=16:9
(fixes anamorphic content by scaling to 16:9)

Tag: yt:stretch=4:3
(fixes 720x480 content that is the wrong aspect ratio by scaling to 4:3)

Tag: yt:quality=high
(default to a high quality stream, depending on availability)


.... i soooo did not spell stretch wrong is this vid... pshhhhhhhhhh

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

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

[imwithstupid39]

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

Thanks it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StickItToTheManProd]

I now love you forever more!!!! :D

[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!
