Hello,

I'm working on a video edit but I have a little problem :)
Since the video was taken on an iPhone, it's in portrait mode with black bars on the sides, and I'd like to change it to landscape format without the side bars. I managed to do it with VLC, but it distorted the whole video.
Result with VLC: it put the video in landscape but completely distorted, it looks like everyone is obese in the video :)

So if someone can help me, that would be really great, thanks in advance.

Hello,
"Since the video was taken on an iPhone, it ends up in portrait mode"
It's not because a phone is preferably held vertically that it should be filmed in that position, and it's stupid.
This is what we see all the time on TV, where blurry reflection images are embedded on the right and left to minimize the black bars effect on the sides.
An iPhone can very well be held horizontally and we would get landscape format images...
For your issue, unfortunately, there are no other solutions than to crop it almost square to limit the damage...
