samsung s9+ portrait video ends up in landscape on Premier Pro 5. How to get it back to portrait?
Hi,
I am using Adobe Premier Pro CS5.
I imported a video clip from the Samsung galaxy s9+ phone. It is hd1080, 60fps. It was shot in portrait mode.
When i open it in Premiere, however, it shows up in landscape mode. And I want to keep it in portrait mode.
Anyway, i went ahead and did my edits in landscape mode anyway because i didn’t know how to get it back to portrait mode. Now I’m ready to export but i don’t see how to get it back to portrait mode. I tried 90degree rotation in the effect controls tab even though i don’t think this is an efficient way to to do this. But when I tried it, it was cropping the top and bottom of the image. So that doesn’t work.
Anybody know how to do this?Please lemme know,
thanks -

You needed to do one more step. Rotate 90 degrees and then scale it back. You will get black borders on the sides. You can copy and paste the effects settings to all of the other phone clips in your timeline.

Do one more step and transcode all your media to an edit friendly codec. Editing phone media is problematic and should be avoided.

Greg,
Normally I use FCP for all my editing. But that requires always transcoding h.264 footage to prores.
So I decided to try Adobe Premiere instead so i could avoid transcoding, esp for this little task which i’m doing right now which is just to edit out parts of a clip. -
Thanks, but does rotating & especially re-scaling degrade the quality of the video?

While Premiere can edit with H264 by no means should you. All H264 media should be transcoded to pro res, dnxhd or cineform.
