No way that I know of.

How about you do not shoot cell phone video in vertical. If you shoot horizontal you do not have to worry about rotating the video.

If you are having to rotate video, that means the video is not shot in the correct orientation.

There are times when shooting vertical is more convenient or useful. One such example is if my kids see the phone sideways they know damn well they are being video'd, and then they stop whatever they were doing that I wanted to capture to pose for the camera. Moment ruined.

But now Power Director is forcing me to turn manually and zoom in on any video that I happen to rotate.

It has also turned some videos that were not vertical...so that's great too.

The point is I should be able to at least turn the feature off.

If you have many clip's upright, you will need to rotate.

If you one by one will really give extra work.

But one way to minimize this, rotate a clip only make direct acting in preview, right click in the rotated clip, select Copy Keiframe Attributes.

Select all that's need to rotate clip, right click select Paste keyframe Attributes.

To select several clip's on the timeline, hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard while clicking each clip will. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

Thanks.....thats a great tip.
I thought of a potential work around too that I havent tested.....start a project on pdr12 , import.....save.....then open in 13.

On a side note super happy with h.265 quality vs size ratio

I thought there was an issue with SOME phone-video.
