How do I change the source monitor's aspect ratio to be vertical 9:16?

I am using Premiere Pro on Windows 10. I am editing a vertical video and I changed the program monitor to 9:16 aspect ratio however when I open any clips in the source monitor panel, the monitor is set horizontal 16:9. I applied a 'transform' master clip effect to the files to get them in the right orientation but that doesn't make the source monitor flip.

 

How do I do this? Thank you.

Mac only!!

On mac, go to the source footage in finder. Select galery as your viewing option. Select all footage you will use in your edit, then hit the rotate button at the right corner of the menu. Once all footage is rotated to vertical, load them into premiere. Now the source monitor will recognize the vertical format as the original orientation and eventually the aspect ratio.

Post screenshot sequence settings

and clip in MediaInfo in treeview.

 

The SM will open the original file> if its 16:9 so will the source monitor regardless of source effect.

The video was shot with the camera held vertically. Regardless, is there any way for me to view these clips that were horizontal in vertical orientation in the source monitor?

Oh okay I see, how do I adjust the source clip to be vertical before importing into Premiere?


Did you get a solution for adjusting the source clip to be vertical?
