How to correct Distortion when clips taken with iphone vertical

When someone takes a iphone video with phone turned vertical (instead of sideways) the clips are distorted (everything is fat).  How to correct this distortion?

    That's an option under 'Display Format' that's grayed out and unchangeable in this project.  I'll have to change it outside of a project and start over?


    You will have to start over or try this:

    Newer versions of Premiere Elements have more options for vertical video.  What version are you using?

      Taking video in portrait in itself wouldn't cause distortion.

      Something else is in play here.

      You probably have a media/project setting mismatch.
