Trailer end card aspect ratios
Trailers, teasers, and promo spots require specific video dimensions matching theatrical DCP masters or web delivery targets:
16:9 (1.78:1)
Standard broadcast, streaming television, YouTube theatrical trailers, and web promos. Universal safe zones apply.
1.85:1 (Flat)
Theatrical Flat cinema DCP specification. Tighter vertical margins require refined typography hierarchy.
2.39:1 (Scope)
Anamorphic Scope cinema delivery. Ultra-widescreen field ideal for horizontal credit spans and wide sponsor lockups.
