How to Change Vertical Videos on iPhone/iPad using iMovie

Written By Dhvanesh Reviewed By How-to 3 Min Read

Capturing beautiful videos has always been one of my favorite acts. With iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus boasting of 4K Video Recording capability, I never miss out on any opportunity to take fantastic videos whenever I’m out with my friends. And, why should I?

There are quite a few occasions when I start recording videos in portrait mode mistakenly. And once I begin shooting a video in portrait orientation, it stays in the same mode for the entire duration.

Fortunately, there are some helpful apps including iMovie, QuickTime and more that allow you to change the vertical videos quickly.
