Help: Photoshop making video from stills - issue with landscape / portrait

[LensofCharlie]

Hello!

I'm trying to make a video within Photoshop from many stills. I do File -> Open -> <click on Image sequence> and point to 1st image in a folder with all images. I choose the frame rate and this successfully creates a video.

However within the folder I have still images shot in landscape and Portrait.  The landscape images are correctly rendered, but the portrait images are cut (the bottom part) and centered to the left of the video.

How can I generate the video so portrait images are (i) not cropped and (ii) centered on the video frame?

Thanks so much!

You will need to select and transform the portrait images so that they fit and are positioned correctly in the frame

@davescm Thanks so much for the quick answer! 

I would have to do this still picture by still picture in the timeline?

Wondering if there is any automatic way as importing 1000 / 2000 pics at a time.

Thx!

You should be able to select them in the layers panel and transform them all together.

Edit : Cancel that comment - I just reread that you imported it directly to a single video layer using Image sequence.

Instead, use File > Scripts > Load files into stack

Select and transform the vertical images

Then Create a frame animation

Make frames from Layers

Convert to Video timeline and set your frame rate

Thanks!!!! Was experimenting with it this weekend and was about to ask you about it having no layers... but saw you edited the comment! 

Will give it a go, just wondering if there is no other "automatic" that doesn't force me to find the portrait pics in the middle of 2000.  (Love your solve though as it works!)
