Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Shooting for Instagram ratio

  • Shooting for Instagram ratio

    Posted by Rob Lindsay on December 17, 2018 at 11:14 pm

    I have been shooting a project with my DSLR held vertically for full frame quality for an Instagram client. I have not been able to get Vegas to accept it as a vertical frame — it has the black top and bottom and it’s still on it’s side. When I use Video FX pan, it makes it smaller, loosing the advantage of all the pixels i started with.
    I tried setting it up in the initial dialog box , checking the “rotate counterclockwise” box, b ut it has had no effect. is there a way to get the full frame vertically into the timeline?

    Many thanks!

    yes, Graham — in project whereI can rotate 90 degrees, but it doesnt translate to the timeline that way.

    Sorry here is the Project box

    Vegas is not rotating the image as spec’d in the box. Rather it is letterboxing it. I want the entire image rotated to vertical if possible without the black bars.

    You let me know it could be done, which I wasn’t sure of.
    Thanks again!
