Yea, but you can expand this atlas configuration to mostly all situations (like overworld, transitions) and to other games (hope that you find maps or you're patient enough to make them). In the end, you'll not do this too much, only for some videos that would look nice with it. Lastly, I don't see black borders as a problem at all. This is our drawback from playing old consoles, but not a problem.
Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math. My things: YouTube, GitHub, Pastebin, Twitter

I will never understand why black borders bother people so much. If they ever get an ultrawide monitor (21:9), will they watch everything stretched to that aspect ratio, because they hate black borders so much?

More or less. I guess it has some thing to do with widescreen being the newest thing and Youtube standards in general. With fullscreen/widescreen videos being good for many things, I guess some people just something that can fit their screen.

I guess can keep the black borders on my stuff of that makes it better. I just wanted it not to stand out so much.

Personally, I would suggest just upscaling the footage while maintaining the aspect ratio and uploading it as is. Even in 2017, not everyone has a widescreen monitor, and it's mad infuriating when people pillarbox their videos to fit in a 16:9 format regardless.

Fully agree. If the footage is 4:3, then upload it as 4:3. Don't add anything else to the video!

1. dump video → 256 x 224 2. stretch → 1280 x 960 3. crop → 1280 x 720 You'll lose 120 pixels from the top and 120 from the bottom though.
