Re: Why are my photos being imported sideways?

I'm probably misunderstanding this...portrait vs landscape thing...

My understanding was that if I have an editing project set up to be 1920 x 1080... and I shot a picture at 1920 x 1080 in portrait orientation...the picture would look like this in the editor...

And if I shot the picture in landscape orientation it would look like this in editor

So I dont see how the portrait thing works.  Now, I do know that "people shots" like this using green screen and motion pic cameras will often be rigged to shoot "portrait" ( camera rigged at 90 angle to horizon...vertical instead of horizontal ). The reason is to work in post on very fine details regarding the key and reflections and so on... then the image is rotated to correct orientation (to fit landscape frame in editor ) and scaled 'down' so the people fit the frame ( head and feet in the frame ).  But other than that I dont get it...why shoot portrait for film editing ?? Unless it's gonna be scaled and positioned to put a 'portion' of the image in the editor ??

I must be missing something about this thread.
