Some video clips render upside down or zoomed in

Have not used this program in years, far less intuitive than it used to be. I have two problems. The first one, is some of my clips show up fine in the clip window, but when I place them on the time line and preview them, they appear zoomed in. the other problem is I created the video and when I sent it to media encoder to render, it turned a new of the clips "iPhone ones", upside down. They were right side up in premiere, but when Media Encoder got finished with them, the iPhone clips were upside down. So how do I stop my clips from appearing zoomed in and how do I stop the iPhone clips from exporting to media encoder upside down.

    You have two different problems here: the zooming and the inversion.  I think I can help you with the first.  You appear to have clips from two different sources and each source has a different resolution.  For example, if your time-line is set to 720 by 486 and one of your recording sources had the same pixel ratio, then the images on your time-line would look normal.  If the other recording source was 1960 by 1080, then these images, when placed on the time-line would look enlarged.  You need to reduce the size using the size control in the Motion section of the Effects panel.  A tip to  speed things up if you have many clips to resize is to copy the corrected Motion parameter,  (Select Motion then Control/Command C) and paste it into the next clips Motion (Control/Command V).

    As to the inversion, it's just a guess, but may be that the iPhone was recorded "upside down" and this is somehow affecting the Media Encoder.  I would try placing some kind of 3D effect on the an affected clip with minimal settings so that the effect is not visually apparent and try a test export to see if this resolves the problem.

    That's the best that I can offer on the inversion problem.

    On the inversion, where the video renders to appear upside down, open the video in quicktime and resave from the File menu using the Export and then 720p. Now when you upload to zoom, it will appear correctly.

    Regarding the rotated iPhone clips that renders upside down i assume that you use Premiere Pro CC2018 v12.1.1, right? Rotated footage is a known issue with this version. Ironically CC2018 claimed to add support for VFR but missed that the footage auto rotates in the latest update.

    I have no workaround other that export directly from Premiere Pro instead of using Media Encoder. I have not yet tested that, but it may be the solution.
