Exporting from premiere pro for an iPad in Portrait (vertical) format.
Hey guys,
I’m editing a advert that will be played on a vertical display eventually, but also needs to play on iPads in the portrait format. I have made a custom timeline but when I go to export it I can’t find a way to make it export in an iPad friendly format that will keep the original layout. i’ve gotten as far as exporting an mpeg of it by clicking the “match sequence settings” tab. But that wont play on iPads (for some reason).When I try to convert it mp4 or .mov it embeds it in a landscape format (like when youtube plays iPhone vids that were shot the wrong way.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

figured it out. but its a very complicated and silly way to do it. lol.
I export the final as a mpeg and then lay it a traditional landscape timeline RE-EXPORT it. send it to the iPad and put the iPad on lock rotation so it doesn’t move. I guess it works but seems kinda silly. =)

What you need to research is MOV’s rotation metadata/flag. This is what controls the orientation of videos on iOS devices.
For vertical displays – I wouldn’t worry until you have specs for these screens and the software that might run them – They may take horizontal video and just be mounted as rotated, they may take fully vertical video, or they may take lettercolumned horizontal video.
