Aspect ratio

Hi, 

I've just purchased Premiere Elements 2022 and learning the basics already. However there's one thing for now that I cant seem to find.

In " Whats New"  it says you should be able to create and crop movies in a social media size 16:9.

However I cant find it anywhere...

I've tried to make a new project with Project Preset - Portrait. If I then add a video in landscape to my project assets, it seems it's still in landscape mode. I cant seem to crop it and frame it into a portrait size, only resize it but then it remains in landscape. 

Based on the tips I saw on this forum I thought I did it right. I've googled too and there i found something about the interpret footage, but no luck either.

Based on the whats new, it should also be possible, but I can't seem to find how.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Manon

If you setup a project and you dont want it changed when a non matching clip is added.

Check the box as shown in screenshot.

On a side note, Elements is very much NTSC (framerate) oriented.

Be sure you pick the right framerate;
