Rotate
I took a video on my iphone in portrait. I now have it in Video studio to edit and would like to rotate to landscape. I follow the instruction in the tutorial, adjust the settings, and rotate. However. the image doesn't fill the screen. It is quite small. Using windows 10, Video studio ultimate 2020 version 23.3.0.646. Help would be appreciated.

Re: Rotate
There are several things you can experiment with...
1. Make sure your project properties are properly set, Settings/project properties. In the format list/resolution option you should find one that fits your need. Note that for FHD, the mobile option (no idea why that name was chosen) is where you will find the FHD 1920x1080, or the 4k resolution settings.
2. under the preview screen there is small drop-down list (4th icon from the RH end) that changes the aspect ration of the project. Click the down arrow and if you recorded in portrait the image should be displayed with the mobile phone/portrait icon highlighted. To view in landscape, select the top icon 16:9 profile. Note that this may distort the image, or just display it with black borders in the preview screen.
3. In the timeline, insert the clip, select it, and then the options panel: middle icon, (extreme RH end of TL). In the options panel at the top adjacent to the time counter, there are rotation options (left and right). Choose the one best suited, and the clip in the TL will be so treated. However, if you recorded the actual using a mobile phone held upright, then this will lay everything in the clip on a side.
4. in the help/settings/preferences/edit tab, the image section, there is a drop down list with 3 options. Choosing "fit to project size" should fill the preview screen but it stretches things a bit to do that. Alternatively, the letterbox option will top n tail the image so it again fits the 16:9 screen, but loses some of the image to do it.
None of this is really optimal: unless you record an original scene in landscape, changing a portrait sized image to landscape during editing is going to lose some parts of the image. You may be better off just editing the portrait image and displaying it like that.
