What kind of aspect ratio for animations do you prefer ?

I primarily use 1:1 since it shows the most and looks nice on twitter and art galleries but i don't actually know how many of you full screen stuff, since 1:1 full screened looks kind of bad.

Also the animation is coming soon, just need to render it out, that's why i'm asking :>

For comparison

1:1

16:9

Benefits of 1:1

Shows a lot

Looks great on art galleries and social media, very big preview

Negatives of 1:1

Looks pretty bad full-screened, leaving huge black bars on the sides.

Higher render times (1:30min per frame)

Benefits of 16:9

Looks perfect when full-screened

Lower render times (0:50min per frame)

Negative of 16:9

Very limiting with angles, have to be either zoomed in or the pose itself has to be horizontal (bed scenes for example)

Looks pretty bad on art galleries and social media, very small preview

1:1 for still frames, 16:9 for animations imo.

Everyone: "hmmm, 16:9 is better. Me: "do both"

It honestly depends on the shot, i try to go for 16:9 but sometimes it just doesn't capture everything i want.

would 4:3 be a little bit of a compromise with the benefits of both :0 16:9 sounds tricky bc you already explained how the angles have to be limited, but going fullscreen is pretty nice too
