Vertical video issue

I am trying to create tiktok videos with vertically shot videos on my phone and have encountered this issue again and again. After having success in beginning the process of editing, Rush will zoom out on my video creating black on both the left and right side, and in the process distorts my video size. I tried zooming back in to elimnate the black, but still distorted. I tried hitting both fill and fit, no luck as it considers the black on either side to be the normal size now. I am highly frusterated as I cannot find out what is triggering this to seemingly happen automatically, nor can I fix it. To best describe how the video itself looks, it looks pinched, everything looks very thin in the video. Length is not the issue here but width.

Can someone please help?

Are you using Rush or Premiere?

In Premiere, when you create your sequence, make sure to chose one of the vertical presets.

In Rush, see this page.

Hey, thanks for replying. I am using Rush on the desktop. I attached a screenshot of what I am seeing. I have it set properly on the vertical preset. About 3 minutes into editing, I won't even be touching the screen, the video goes from the propoer size, to the one in my screenshot and I have no idea how to get it back.. I am wondering if mine has a bug.

Okay, well I've never used Rush.

This is the Premiere forum, so you'd be better of asking in the Rush forum here.
