You want your editing size to equal your produced size.This allows you to avoid cases such as the black bar video syndrome. Here are some video tags strategies and other work-arounds to avoid black bar syndrome.

TIP:
  • Utilize the preset options for both Mac and Windows especially if you already know what you need.
  • Select the apporiate dimensions to the resolution (i.e. HD: 720) you desire for your finished product. Setting your video dimensions in HD is the work-around to ensure that your video keeps its resolution when uploading to Kaltura.
