Fantastic video, but it winds me up when they add padding to a phone video to make it landscape, as if no one in existence might possibly be viewing their phone-generated content on a phone.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Yeah adding padding is always harmful. If the aspect ratio doesn't match it's not like the video breaks so just let the player deal with it. Anyone who has a problem with vertical videos isn't going to be any happier that you added bars to it. Who is this solution for?
It's because the content was likely preprocessed for broadcast news. Which means normal 16:9 landscape format.
Vertical video has done nothing but introduce constant issues. I used to be a guide for Jeep runs, and I was also the video editor for the run videos (just clips from the run with music). And naturally you can't be everywhere, so 95% of the clips have to be recorded by everyone else. Even though they were told "don't record vertical video because we can't use it" they did so anyways, and were upset when we couldn't use their videos.
And to be clear, this isn't just a random video. We're talking about a large organized and legally registered club, so we kept everything to a certain standard of quality. Vertical videos are not suitable for anything except a phone.
It’s the trees root plates. Not really a safe thing to be around. Not very responsible to let doggo be endangered.
I would be worried the dog would go underneath and get crushed/trapped
Yes indeed.
I was mildly concerned about Jake being eaten by the angry Tree Ents for a bit there!
Thought I was about to watch a dog die.
Sorry for your disappointment
It's fab being in the forest when this happens, although dangerous, it's fun to walk along aha.
Mother Nature's toupee game is, not good
Dang Scotland, you scary
Come down and join us. Yes join us.
Why are the roots so shallow? Wouldn't the trees stop this from happening?
This is what I always wonder when they tell me a plant "tolerates clay soil". Like does it really? Or does it just avoid it by spreading out all its roots in the thin topsoil? This would seem to be the latter.
