I'm using vegas pro 19.0 on a windows 11 laptop.
When i import a 1080x1920 (a standing phone full sized video) it's not covering the full sixe in vegas pro. i have tried both 1920x1080 and 1080x1920 videos and none of them cover the full screen. When i try to use the pan crop tool it dosen't work either.
Open Pan/Crop, right-click the image, and choose "Match Output Aspect".
@Max-Raile Hi, your project is 9:16 Portrait, your media looks like 16:9 Landscape, try right click Match output or source, if your media is 16:9 it will be cropped in a 9:16 project
@Max-Raile If you look in Project Media the thumbnails show as 16:9 landscape but all the others are 9:16 portrait
Regardless of any NLE that you are using, if you want to use your phone's camera for a 16:9 project in your NLE, turn the phone horizontally so that the phone will film in 16:9, not 9:16. Nonetheless, with 9:16 video in Vegas Pro, you have a couple of options:
1/ use track motion on a dedicated track to zoom in on the 9:16 image so that it fills the width of the 16:9 screen - but with a HUGE loss of resolution both V and H; or
2/ use Vegas' Black Bar Fill to fill and blur out the L and R areas of the 6:19 image.
When using a phone camera, take into account the destination of that video. If it is going to other 9:16 phones and 9:16 apps, then continue with vertical 9:16 filming; if the destination is to be TV 16:9, then hold the phone horizontally - and importantly you maximise your phone's resolution this way.

@Dexcon ?
This is a clip i made, i had to put it portrait to get everything in
Can you explain a little & point out where i'm loosing resolution? the 16:9 on the right is taken with the same camera, both are orig unedited straight from phone, the 9:16 shows as rotated 90º (the frame rate on my phone media is different for all clips regardless of aspect)
You will loose resolution when you display your 9:16 recording on a 16:9 display (or turn your 16:9 90 degrees to get a 9:16 display). Turning a phone 90 degrees is no problem, turning a TV 90 degrees is not so easy.

the first comment helped me fix it. But thanks anyways :)
@Max-Raile My comment was for @Former user, not a solution to your question.

Ok
@3POINT That's what i was thinking, the resolution of the phone clip is the same either way, 9:16 or 16:9, it's what yo do with that footage after 👍
an you explain a little & point out where i'm loosing resolution?
@Former user ... My reasoning for saying this is:
Phone camera vertically framed 9:16 = H 3,840 x W 2,160
NLE / TV horizontally framed 16:9 = H 2,160 x W 3,840
Importing a 9:16 image into a 16:9 space automatically reduces the 9:16 image's H of 3.840 to 2,160 because 2,160 is the standard height of a 4K project. To maintain the 9:16's vertical rez in a 16:9 environment, you'd have to create a 16:9 project with a H rez of 3.840 - but then you'd also need a display that has a 3.840 height (and circa 6,826 width to maintain 16:9).
If the 9:16 is zoomed in so that the image fills the 16:9 screen horizontally (thus chopping the top and bottom vertically), the 2,160 W of the 9:16 image is still effectively 2,160 (because that's the original image size) even though it's filling a 3,840 space in a 16:9 project. I'm not completely certain, but I suspect that the zoom in will not reduce the V rez of 2,160 as long as the 9:16 image doesn't reduce below full-frame vertically. In other words, V 2,160 in the 16:9 frame is maintained while any V 2,160 or greater framing of the 9:16's V 3,840 image is cropped.
Post-Pro prcessing like an Uprez plugin might help, but the above is looking at the original video. I'm happy to be coorrected if there is any error in the above reasoning.
