Change clip orientation before adding it to a sequence

Hello!

 

New kid here.

 

So, I want to chage the orientation of some videos from landscape to portrait beffore adding them to a sequence and changing the sequence orientation through Effect Control panel. That last option is the only one I founded here. 

There is a simple way of clicking in a bunch of selected videos and transform them, rotating them 90º, for example?

 

Thanks a lot if someone could help.

Ann's got the answer: the Transform effect, drag it onto a selected group of clips in the Project panel bin.

 

And if you apply it to one clip, then select Rotate, set to 90*, and save as a named Preset, you can then drag that preset onto a group of selected clips.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

It's like those side black bars was part of the image, now that it's rotated.

You need to create a vertical orientation 1080x1920 sequence. Then add the transformed clips.

 

Most of the time that works. But occasionally you still need to change scaling for some clips.

 

And perhaps try the Preferences options out, for scaling. Probably Set to Framesize, but maybe unset.

I think what I want is to change the orientation of the source clip inside the Premiere, not rotate it. Is that possible?

Use the transform effect as a source clip effect.

 

Apply Source Clip effects in Premiere Pro

I could not find an effect that rotate the clip/source video or change it's orientation.

Transform effect in the Effects pallet.
