Still image orientation

[plekkie]

When importing still images made in portrait orientation, Edius puts these images in landscape orientation in the bin, and also on timeline.

That is not convenient, but a bigger problem is when I want to put the image in the potrait orientation by rotating 90 degrees in Layouter, I then cannot fill the width of the screen automatically by a touch of a button. I don't remember this behaviour in Edius 6.08, if I remember well Edius would correctly put the images in portrait position both in the bin and on the timeline.

Am I doing anything wrong, or have I missed a setting?

I am using Edius WG 8.2 on Windows 10 Home.

Update:
If I open one of the portrait images in a photo editor, the image is placed in landscape. When I rotate the image and save as new image, it is properly recognized by Edius.

So I guess it is maybe because in Windows 10 portrait images are automatically recognized and put in the right position. Not an Edius thing in that case.

How do they look in Windows Explorer?
Rotate them there.

That is the point: In Windows Explorer the orientation appears to be ok, so no need to rotate them. When imported in Edius however, they are put in landscape orientation.

With Windows 7 I used to do what you suggest, I rotated the images in Windows Explorer.
