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.)

Stan, if shooting with a phone in vertical position and the settings in the phone are not set to vertical but rather horizontal. Then yes you are seeing a horizontal preview in the Source Monitor (we are not talking Program monitor because that behaves differently).

This behavior is not uncommon in phones. Its a user error: not paying attention to the orientation.

The orientation of the file in say an iPhone is easy to correct in the iPhone itself.

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.
