Fix Clips Rotated 90 Degrees

[Kenton5CB3]

Hey all,

Hoping someone has a suggestion - I received a bunch of footage from an event, and it looks like about 15-20% of the time the camera op hit record while the camera was sidways, and I've got about 30 clips that are turned 90 degrees.

I know how to use Master Clips to rotate, and if they were 180 degrees / upside down, no problem, but when I apply Transform to these and rotate 90 degrees, it rotates the image itself, but the clip retains the 9:16 aspect ratio, so now all I've got is a letterboxed vertical clip.  Not helpful.

Is there a workaround for this within Premiere?  Preferably without having to pull each clip into its own timeline?

Thanks Stan, that was the next question, I guess - is there an easy way to fix the original footage without having to re-wrap, re-render, etc.  Sounds like this may be the ticket.  I will check it out, thank you!
