I'm having difficulties setting up a vertical video

Hello,

I'm trying to create a video in Premiere Pro (latest version) that has a width of 1080px and a height of 1926px.

I've already changed the frame size to match the above numbers in sequence settings (using the 'Custom' option).

However when I go to import my images (which are all 1080x1926) in to my timeline, I can see black bars either side of the image in the preview window. Exporting the video seems to still show black bars too.

Hope that makes sense. I would really appreciate any advice with this.

The video doesn't use any footage - it's a simple slideshow using images sized in Photoshop.

    Your aspect ratio is incorrect: it is set to 1.33. Should be set to 1.0 in the sequence settings.

    How to setup vertical video in Premiere Elements?  There is no "Sequence settings" in there.  Should I edit the Preset xml files myself  to include a 1080x1920 profile?

    Preview window on the left or right side.

    Left is Source Monitor, right is Program monitor

    Post screenshot of sequence settings, clip properties and and full UI.
