Hi,
I'm shooting vertical video for Reels. I'm able to view the timeline video in vertical, but not the previews.
I've applied the transform effect/rotation as per this instruction. But the preview window tries to show me that within a 16:9 frame, so although it's rotated, it's cut off (see image).
How do I properly preview my vertical clips?

If the original is in landschap then that is what you are seeing in the Source Monitor.
Is this clip opened from the Project window or timeline: there is a difference.
if you want to make a vertical movie then you need to shoot vertical.
Some phones will let you rotate before transferring to computer.

If the camera does not shoot real vertical you are stuck in this workflow.

It's a shame video can be rotated and viewed vertical on the timeline, but not in preview. I hope Adobe change this, considering how much video is being edited for vertical now.

Kind of AI. If the camera shoots in 16:9 Premiere need to be able to tell it's a vertical image?
That is why you have the source clip effect which lets you add the Transform effect and rotate the image.
Preview is done by opening the file from the Project window, not the timeline.
Opening from the timeline will give you its exact properties, which looks its all wrong but is not.

Are the sources of the clips shot in 16:9 or 9:16?
