Q: Changing horizontal drop zone to vertical

I'm using Motion 5.1 to work with still photos. I have a FCP X template that uses horizontal drop zones that I want to format for vertical pictures. How can I do this without having to create a new drop zone? Is there a way to change the parameters of the horizontal drop zone without having any blank space or cutting off images?

Motion 5, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Why wouldn't you want to add the portrait drop-zone in Motion? Import the image and create a drop zone in those same dimensions.

    You can rotate (and resize) any drop-zone in Motion like a 'clip' .... select the drop-zone, and in the Info-tab you can change parameters...

     

    ... in case, you can open the template in M5, and it's no commercial one with some 'hidden' parameters.
