How To Make Clips Vertical For (or before) Import?

I shot my clips with my camera vertically but the source monitor plays them horizontally. I would like to make the clips vertical before the important so that they play on the source monitor in vertical orientation and not just in the playback for the timeline (which changing sequence settings does). I am using Premiere Pro 2022 on Windows 10. How do I do this? Thank you.

I've been curious about this since your previous thread:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/how-do-i-change-the-source-monitor-s-aspect-ratio-to-be-vertical-9-16/td-p/12795537

I could not get any of my vertical videos to "misbehave." They are all Galaxy S21 Ultra phone videos that I shot in portrait mode (vertical), and they all open in the source monitor vertically.

I looked at them in Media Info (and also using an exif metadata tool), and their dimensions are actually "horizontal." The only difference between my horizontal and vertical phone video is that the vertical video adds a "Rotation" parameter of 90 degrees. PR apparently understands this and interprets the pixel dimensions correctly?

Are you shooting vertical with a regular camera? What is the device you are shooting with? What does Media Info show? (Post a screenshot in "tree" view.)

I shot it on a Canon R6 mirrorless camera. I have been looking into it and it seems so far that I'm SOL and going forward I have to enable the screen rotation option which tells other devices which side is up. I have a lot of vertical footage I didn't do this with though so hopefully there is a way for me to re orientate that footage without having to scrub through it all with my head turns sideways. Here is the tree view.

I am guessing auto rotation only applies to stills and not movies.

Hi Eko, here is a screenshot with a crude drawing of what I'm looking for. I would like the source (marked 1) to be vertical like the program (maked 2).

No, you did not shoot your clips vertically, you just held the phone? Vertically. The camera setting were most likely still in a horizontal setting.

This is a phone 'issue'. You need to correct that in your phone.

Thank you for the reply, I shot it on a Canon R5 mirrorless camera and held the camera vertically. I will have to look into horizontal settings on the camera then.
