In yours, 2/3 of the possible width of the clip was cropped out-I don't understand and I see it all the time.

You're correct, you do see it all the time. As a photographer, I find it somewhat annoying especially when the many viewer video clips we see on the the news, for instance, are the same way. This is because everyone holds their iPhone vertically. And a "cropped" view is right; think of how much of the possible image is left out. I don't think I've ever seen anyone hold it horizontally, which is really a much more life-like, realistic way to view a video. I think I have finally gotten my wife to hold it that way if she's shooting a video of our grand daughter or something.
