Aspect Ratios
An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of something. A colon is used to separate between the width and the height, for example if the aspect ratio of the video is 25:3 it means that the video is 25 centimetres wide and 3 centimetres high. The most common aspect ratio is either 16:9 or 4:3.
