weird portrait video issue in Captivate 2019 and fix

My SME recorded a video for me in portrait mode. The dimensions are 1080x1920. CP imports it sideways so that it's 1920x1080. If I change the height to 720 the width will be 1280 (logicly) it still appears sideways on the filmstrip

When I preview it in HTML5 in browser it appears upright in portrait, scaled to 405x720 which is actually how I need it.

I had to do the math to get the blue smartshape background the right size but it worked. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it a bug or is it a browser thing? Since it plays the way I want it responses arn't urgent but if there is a way to make it look the same in the filmstrip as in the browser I would love to know for future reference.

Thanks!
