Video shot in landscape, but flagged as portrait...how to fix?

Hi All,

I shot some video on my iPhone 6S+; I shot it in landscape mode, but somehow it got flagged as portrait mode. If you view it on my iPhone OR in Vegas, it appears rotated 90 degrees (IOW, if you turn your head, the video looks correct, but doesn't fill the screen). I can't figure how to correct this using Event/Pan Crop or other means. See attached.

Any help?

Click on OUTPUT ROTATION and rotate it correctly. that should get the correct orientation.

Tried that and applied. No go. See attached. Only difference is that the window is now black 1920x1080.

Sorry, that is my wrong. I thought you were looking at the Media Properties, but that is the Project Properties. Right click on the MEDIA file and you will see a similar button near the bottom that says ROTATION. Try that.

Thanks. I actually had to do both: change orientation in media properties (90 degrees), and then invert the pixel count in the project properties (1080:1920 to 1920:1080).

Working now. Thanks again!
