How To Convert Portrait Video to Landscape! 

This tutorial is a couple of years old. In the online world, this happens haha. My point is this: My screen does not match the screen of the author. As such, this tutorial did not exactly match my software version. I was able to "convert" my project from portrait to landscape after hunting around quite a bit; thank you for that. This video was the top video in my search. I'm not a video editor, but I can follow instructions well. If this tutorial had matched my software, I would have been able to complete this task in under a minute. Since I had to hunt around a bit, it took me about 10 minutes. This is not a complaint, but rather an explanation of the current situation and perhaps a suggestion for up-to-date tutorials. Thanks for all you do.

Great video, I love it. I always wanted to know why and how this happens with those black bars on the side. I love using Filmora as a video editing tool. I'm now excited to try what this video teaches. It has been years since I wanted to know about this and just in the few short minutes here you blow my mind. Thanks guys!

Please improve color tuning :( Color tones are limited. It's hard to find 3dlut.

I am a beginner here in youtube, thanks for this guide

Hi, after clicking crop & zoom, I don't have two windows appear (the cropping window and the preview window)? Also, after I crop, the black bars don't disappear. I just updated my app to the latest version. Thx.

Your style of Coffee is amazing

I'm curious. Did you use FIlmora to edit this actual tutorial video? Premiere? Final Cut?

Hi Matt I'm trying to follow your method right now in my computer but there's something wrong with mine. It's only the cut portion from up and down being covered by blur effects and not the both sides. What's the problem of my Filmora9? Are you using diff.version? Pls.help me, I'm getting frustrated. Plsss. Thanks

Thank you for this!!!! I shot my very first vlog this week and I didn’t realize all my clips were in portrait mode until the last day🤦🏽‍♀️ can’t wait to use these tips while editing💕

Great illustration. Thank you so much !

I am a newbie to this whole filming thing so to start out I am just using my phone in landscape to record videos. I didn't realise by zooming out though I got the black bars. I did crop like you mentioned but I think I prefer to record some parts again.

Thank you mate

This informative.. because mostly my video are portrait.. thank you for sharing.

Thank you sir! It very hard to find this tutorial and they make it very difficult !

Thanks man ! you made my day. it worked like a charm. kudos !

Hi, do have a tutorial for uploading a vertical video on youtube? I also use this Filmora and I want to upload 720 x 1280 vertical video without black screen on side

Appropriate and Useful video! Thx guys

Hi Guys, awesome software, loving it, quick question, is it possible to do speed ramping? Go from fast to slow-mo gradually and back again?

Please, kindly make a tutorial on how you made your intro and outro animations. They’re top notch 👌

Best video editor program super easy

Hi guys there congrats for the good job and the perfect program and RU-vid channel... how can I turn an upside down video from action cam I have recorded upside down.. how can I turn it into normal o the side I want? Thanks

So how do you tape in landscape mode to begin with??? I did it but have no idea how! All my other videos are portrait. Very frustrating.

Very quick and well understood thansj

THANK YOU SO MUCH ...THIS VIDEO WAS VERY HELPFUL

THANK YOU FILMORAA!!

So helpful … thanks

Excellent tutorial Man! Concise too👌

Matt how are you my friend!! Can this be done without quality loss in filmora?? If so how??

It was a very helpful video ❤🥰Thanks

So in my filmora, I do not have the option to select ratio of 9:16 or custom... is that because I’m using the free version? I only have option for 4:3 or 16:9 and nothing else....trying to edit videos for IGTV

Al video screen on black when crop, impossible to crop well adjusted

This was helpful... short and to the point

I have ifone6s and i have problem with my videos now with filmora 9 before in version 8 i just rotated my video but in filmora 9 it does not work and there are bars still ?

Nice Informative Video😊❤👍😀

thanks for this info. it was very useful

Wow friend, that´s good!!! Thanks for share it.

Thanks for tutorial.

Your Videos Really Helps Me Out But Still Im Not Able To Download Filmora 8.1 :(

Thank you so much for this. 👍🏾 Could not figure out how to do the blurred background.

Thank you, i try to apply it to mine.

I don’t have all those blur options including Blur Bars which is really annoying. It says I have the latest version too.

thanks you resolve my big problem

Is there a way to do the reverse? I have landscape-oriented videos that I need to turn into portrait.

HI Matt, Thanks for your video. I completely agree and currently have some video's to re-format. I downloaded the free Filmora app however I can crop and zoom but I cannot split. So currently I have cropped the video but it is still in portrait. Can you please advice what to do? Thanks!!

sir Is it possible to fade in fade out in Music Track ?? because when i use 2-3 music it doesn't sound good ! please give me solutions

I followed the instructions for the crop but the black bars on the sides are still there...how do I make the crop fill the whole screen?

Is this filter also works a Photos or its only for Videos?

Cool. Thanks, Matt

Thanks it was very helpful

How I blur the background behind me with filmora or at least on both sides!?

Hi Filmora. How to speed both the video in the middle and background when you use blurry background. I end up having only the backgroung faster but not the middle !

I accidentally set the project to 16:9 when opening filmora but I wanna reset it to 4:3 how do I do that without starting over? 😢

this is very helpful thank you so much for sharing I need more tutorial by using Filmora video editor

Is there a way to shift the point of focus based on the time in the video? The video focal point in the video I'm trying to crop shifts throughout the video...

Nice tip - Thank you

Hi, I'm only looking to convert old videos on my pc from the old "portait" format to 16x9, I'm looking for something really simple as I'm very "novice" with pcs, thank for ur help! 😉

Awesome tip 👍

This saved my video in some WFP format. What am i supposed to do with that?

Excellent sir

Thanks, can't wait to see you other videos! ✔️ 👍 💗

How can i do landscape video having black on both sides ? I want to remove black part so it plays better on mobile. Sorry, but I'm asking opposite here if it works.

Most web pages, at least mine, are on a white background. It would be more helpful to know how I could simply change the back on both sides to white.

Thank you very much. keep sharing, Goodluck

I accidentally recorded some out door GoPro videos with my iso at 3000 everything was this ugly blue tint. Do you have an option for correcting the iso with out all the guess work.

Thanks for sharing

Nooo how do u switch from landscape to portrait

I downloaded Filmora and the layout is different to what is shown in your video. And when I add the blur bars effect, nothing happens.

i dont see this blur effects anywhere.. there are only some 5-6 effect and blur one is not there..so sad :|

How to download this app bro ?? Pls give the link for download

Simply amazing!

Thank you so much!!!

Sorry But coffee cup is empty 😅😅

Here was a video that was actually helpful, thats rare

Filmora should be able to make this much easier. They offer the option at the beginning when you import. New users like myself have no idea what it's actually asking.. I imported in portrait mode and spent HOURS on something I can't even use. Truly obnoxious. Just paid for it and never want to even look at it again.

In the next update, can i Sync 2 or more video with one speack audio?

It Works Thanks bro..

Good video thanks alot

What if i took the video vertically, but the app automatically made it flat in horizontal, but i want the black sides? Idk how to crop it back

I don't get it, I can get the pic to fill the screen, but the bars on the side are still there, they are just gray and you can see the rest of the picture coming through. It's weird. How do I get just the picture and not the bars?

Just saved my entire life

ok 2 things that bugged me about this. 1 you never said anything about this ridiculous watermark on the free version, which is kind of an important thing and two, this new version is not showing the black bars anymore and looks totally different then yours. I am testing my video to see if after export it comes out like I want but if not....I am deleting this program. Ughhh so frustrating....can you help or I am going to deleted this thing.

I'm having problems with my videos there smaller then the actual screen

Helpful video 😊

the blur effect dosent works with me it blurs horizontaly

Good work

Awesome tutorial! Can we please have in the next update a way to move the preview screen to the middle - or at least not flush to the right side? When editing in 16:9, you have to move the whole editor to see the right side of the video. Uncool.

Hi, those filters wont work on my filmora. And some of the features wont show. like the crop and zoom feature. do you know why? i dont have the free version.

i love it ! but it´s not in the free version !

What filmora version was used on this tutorial?

*Thank you* 👍👍👍👍

Please Add the 1920×822 Resolution.

Thanks very helpful 👍 👍

Really need to improve this feature..

thanks for the epic video i now know what i'm gonna do in my next video

This isn't working correctly in 9.3.6.2 version. I click on the blur filter, see it added as a new track, but nothing happens in the preview, and when rendered, the black bars are there instead of the blurred background.

Do this work on mobile ?

Thanks a lot

Tq sir...very helpfull video😉

Hey quick question.. Why is the picture (video) soooo bad in the preview screen???? Is it me? Sucks. Oh, and thank you for these tutorials. Awesome. Product is great too..
