Creating Rotated Projects
The use of rotated displays — monitors that display vertical media — has become increasingly popular:
you can see them in kiosks, presentations, and even on the nightly news. If you have a project that you'd
like to display in a rotated format, Vegas Pro makes it easy.
1. Create a new project.
2. Set your project properties as needed, and then choose a setting from the Output rotation drop-
down list to indicate the orientation of your destination display device. If you want to display your
project in portrait (tall) mode, choose 90° clockwise or 90° counterclockwise. For more information,
see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
In this example, the video was shot with the camera tripod rotated 90 degrees. However, because
neither the project or the media has been rotated, the video is displayed sideways within the
standard landscape frame.
After choosing 90° clockwise from the Output rotation drop-down list, the Video Preview window is
rotated. Because the media hasn't been rotated yet, it doesn't match the project orientation and is
letterboxed within the frame.
3. Add your media files to your project. For more information, see "Adding media files to your project"
on page 91.
4. Edit the properties for each of your media files to set its rotation as needed:
a. Right-click a media file in the Project Media window and choose Properties from the
shortcut menu. The Media Properties dialog is displayed.
