So I am currently in the school of trial & error with editing. I am actually loving using Filmora here. Only issue I am having is exporting clips in 9:16 gives an almost side letterbox as if still in 16:9.

I have updated the project settings, set cropping to 9:16, I have made sure when starting the project it's aspect ratio is in 9:16. I edit streaming/gaming clips & lyric videos. The only way I have gotten it fully cut down to not have this happening is to use similar to CrossClip & Combo Clips that'll size it portrait, but then it drops the quality down hard.

Any ideas? I'm still learning, & google has proven unhelpful as the articles & videos I have found are more so "Here's how you change your settings for portrait size videos for Tiktok!" Which give me the options I have already tried! I appreciate the help! Thanks everyone!

EDIT: SOLVED IT. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!
