I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

    There is no project preset for video in portrait orientation.

    But, you can rotate the whole Timeline video

    a. at the Timeline level, right click the video, from the pop up select Rotate 90 Right or Rotate 90 Left.

    b. at the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded level, select the Timeline clip and use the Rotation option there.

    I am not understanding

    Do you really mean you are looking to rotate clips more than 1 at a time? If that is what you mean, then

    "a" will work...select all the clips, right click anywhere in the selection, from the pop up select Rotate 90 Right or Rotate 90 Left.

    "b" would not be applicable.

    Please let us know if we have targeted your question.

    Thank you.

    Thankyou, a workaround. Yes, this is for video to use for the app description in the Apple store. If you notice all the new apps have a portrait video in the first 'slot', they have shifted from using landscape mode, twisting your phone, and then twisting it back to see the rest of the app stills. The goal is for the video to fill the full iPhone screen while holding it in portrait position.

    It's time that Premiere Elements adds a 9:16 preset for portrait video, there is a real use case for why you want to playback in portrait.

      Thanks for the reply.

      Your information

      If you notice all the new apps have a portrait video in the first 'slot', they have shifted from using landscape mode, twisting your phone, and then twisting it back to see the rest of the app stills.

      was very interesting. My only exposure to Apple is via my iPod Touch 4th generation which has the portrait orientation and, with a twist, landscape.

      We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user. I do not know if you want to explore the Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form to comment to Adobe on this video orientation matter. If you do, please check out

      Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

      Recently I helped a Premiere Elements user to create a project preset for a 21:9 project preset.

      ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Project Preset with 21:9 Display Aspect Ratio

      When I get a chance, I will try to apply those principles to a 9:16 project preset and determine the

      consequences.

      Best wishes
