Ultrawider
Fill your ultrawide monitor with any video, faces stay round
16:9 video on an ultrawide monitor means black bars eating a third of the screen. Ultrawider fills it with a non-linear warp: the center of the frame stays geometrically untouched, only the edges stretch. Faces stay round — that's the whole point. Free on YouTube forever, works on 21:9, 32:9 and anything wider
Hi PH! I built this after two years of being annoyed that my expensive monitor shows most videos smaller than my old 16:9 did. The trick is a quintic warp shader — center 60% of the frame is mathematically untouched, edges absorb all the stretch. Try the interactive demo on the landing page. Free on YouTube, and I'm around all day - feedback on the pricing model is especially welcome
PH promo: email the code ULTRAWIDE-PH to [email protected] and I'll send you a 3-month Pro key personally.
Tried it on a 32:9 and the center really does stay untouched — faces looked natural, not that awful fishbowl stretch. Surprised it works this well for something free on YouTube.
