How to Create a Vertical Portrait Video for Mobile with iMovie and Quicktime or Camtasia on Mac

If you're trying to create a vertical portrait type of video for people to watch on their mobile phones, and you're using iMovie or Camtasia, and you're on a Mac! This video explains how you can accomplish it without having to buy any extra plugins or download extra software. The benefits of a portrait video (tall vs. landscape wide) is that your content will fill the screen without having black bars on the sides. This allows watchers to see the content larger and more zoomed in natively on their devices (Android, iPhone, mobile or tablets).

In short
- Create a project in iMovie.
- Drop your videos, photos, and other content onto the timeline and then rotate each one 90-degrees to the left.
- Export your movie
- Open your movie in Quicktime, choose Edit then Rotate 90-degrees clockwise, Save As
- Upload to YouTube or other platforms!
- Camtasia is much easier as the program lets you select the canvas dimensions manually, and you can choose 1080x1920 or any other 9x16 aspect ratio as YouTube recommends. It will still work if you choose 1080x1400 (which fit my papers more closely, without leaving black bars at the top and bottom or requiring me to stretch my content). You can adjust the canvas size in Camtasia by choosing Edit then Project Settings...
