That's an option under 'Display Format' that's grayed out and unchangeable in this project. I'll have to change it outside of a project and start over?

Newer versions of Premiere Elements have more options for vertical video. What version are you using?

Wow, that worked! So the moral of this story is to ensure the first clip is 1920x1080? My first clip was a vertical iphone video 960x720. I also had some clips that were 1440x1080. When I made one of those my first clip had the same problem. Thanks a bunch.
