Hey Craig 
Love what you have made mate. Well done. Hey I uploaded a vertical video and said I did. However when I created the CC and downloaded the video is all distorted. 
What did I do wrong? 
thanks for your help

Hey James! So, it is likely your actual video is sending some confusing info. to our servers. Let me double check it for you and I will report right back.

Hey James, yes, that is the issue. The metadata in your videos is telling our system that they are square rather than vertical. I can fix this for you. Give me a few minutes.

Just an update, almost done sorting this for you. Give me about 30 more minutes.

Ok James. So, your video was anamorphic meaning the actual width and height were 1080X1080 but the display width and height were 1080X1920, so the system was confused.

I fixed it for you, but it might change your options, so if you need help let me know, but you should be good to go.

Thanks!

Craig

If you get a chance Craig, I’d love to know what I did wrong to make that happen if you know. I videoed it in vertical and used an iphone. No worries if you’re not sure
