When uploading to YouTube (or Vimeo, Wistia…anywhere really) there is the option to letterbox your videos. Unfortunately, I have yet to run into a situation where a full screen shot isn’t required at least one time in my videos. If I never show the full screen, I never have to worry about odd sizing issues. One way to get around this is to always be a bit zoomed in. Losing quality at the expense of a cropped screen doesn’t really do it for me. While I no longer have any sizing issues when recording this way, I lose the amazing quality provided by the retina display. I have tried a few things to remedy this. 16:9, means you either have to stretch your recording to fit, or crop off either the top or bottom. This unfortunate incompatibility, 16:10 vs. While you can change your canvas size in ScreenFlow to be 1920:1080, the recording from your MacBook screen will actually be a bit taller than your canvas.
When creating an HD video, then uploading it to YouTube, you will want it to be 1920:1080, standard HD, which works out to an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is powerful, beautiful and its high pixels per inch make the retina display shine! The only issue I run into is the native 16:10 resolution. If you haven’t used this machine in particular, it is tons of fun. I get to use a late 2013, 15 inch retina display MacBook Pro when I make videos with ScreenFlow. If you record with ScreenFlow on a MacBook, chances are you will be recording in 16:10 resolution.
