I have a video created in in portrait orientation using an iPhone 13 Pro. I’d like to use Topaz Video AI to crop the video to a 4x5 aspect ratio. However, when I import the video into Topaz Video AI, it is distorted. Note: I don’t have this problem for videos that I create in landscape orientation.
I’ve included two screenshots - one of the the video when I open it in Windows Media Player and another when I open the same file in Topaz Video AI.
The team is aware of this issue and is working on a fix now. The distortion does not effect the exports from the recent tests I ran. You can go to the Edit option in the Video Input section and turn off the rotation - set to 0 - and it will show the video in a landscape orientation without the distortion and this should allow you to do the crop correctly and then process the video for a workaround. You will just need to rotate it back either in Video AI or another video editing app.
There’s an additional issue with the cell phone video. I tried to crop the video and do a 2X upscale and the application crashed. Not locked up, crashed (log files attached).

When trying to process a video taken in portrait mode, the preview shows a version of the video with height reduced. I attempted multiple videos and the same happens. If I set rotation to 0 degrees, I see the video in its correct ratio and dimensions, but in horizontal rotation (not vertical, like it was recorded).
Same here with Canon R6 footage shot vertical. If I remove the “Rotation” metadata from the video with ffmpeg the aspect ratio will display correct (albeit the video rotated 90 deg, of course).
