Vertical and horisontal clips in one video?

[Anne Sofie]

Hi
1) I want to make a video which is made of both horizontal and vertical clips. However, as soon as I drag vertical clips to the "timeline" with horisontal clips, -all clips turn vertical?  

2) I would also like to add text at the sides of the vertical clips as well. 

My version is 10.18

Text can be added on a higher (overlay) track, and positioned to the sides by simply dragging it in the preview window, while the text compose window is open.

Portrait and landscape aspect ratios can be mixed and one should not affect the other.

Share a portion (or the entire) project that does this and someone here will come up with the answer.  Be sure to Save Project File AS routinely, giving it a unique # or name, so as not to overwrite prior saves.  Using Save Project Files (no AS) will overwrite.  From the HOME tab, that choice is available by clicking the chevron to the right of the Save Project button on the toolbar.

Sharing isn't difficult and can be private.  Just follow these steps...

•     Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left.  Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER.  Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
•     Upload ---  Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER.    Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. 
•     Get link --- Get a public link.  If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" 
•     Share ---     Click COPY LINK | DONE.  Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me.  It won't be shared.

          *    Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES.  Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
