YouTube Shorts Test Video
A genuinely portrait-oriented 1080x1920 clip, labeled on-screen, for confirming a short-form vertical video upload actually preserves orientation and resolution instead of letterboxing or rotating it.
What these files actually are
Encoded natively at 1080x1920, not a landscape video rotated or padded afterward, so it exercises real vertical-video handling end to end.
