it’s that time of the year with new phones, new videos and tons of Vertical Video Syndrome!
To fix that, I built me the ks_VVFixer; download the zip and install it in your Movies/iMotion Templates/Effects folder…
IMPORTANT NOTE
To make the effect work in FCPX, you HAVE to make your clip a Compound clip! So, add your clip(s) to timeline, select it, hit alt-G.
Now, you’re ready to go: drag VVFixer from the Effects Browser onto your clip. You instantly get the preset.
In the Inspector, you see various settings, which are partly self-explanatory.
Zoom is set to fill the frame, but you can zoom any further
Position allows to move the bg on x- and y-axis
Stretching has no effect until you check the stretch-box - it then sizes the x-axis only
b+w gives the bg a darker or brighter tone
blur finally does what it says, its preset is 30%, but you can set it to 0, due to magnification/squeezing the pic quality doesn’t get really better…..
NEW feature:
you can zoom into your source - again: quality-wise not recommended
and finally shift the source up/down (when zoomed-in)
Hope you like it, feel free to improve it, and let us know what you have changed!
added the option to zoom the source, up to full screen - keep in mind: high chance, a vertical video doesn't match your projects horizontal resolution! By zooming-in you'll instantly notice a quality loss.....

Karsten!!!!! you're very fun for sure I know. Here this time, you're also brilliant. I laughed a lot, this is an idiot proof video. A little veiled criticism, for a stupid fashion. Ben follow the advice of Karsten and sing us a song, I'm very curious to listen to you.
A smile Pielle
