I have a vertical video recorded on an iPhone (one of the rare cases where it makes sense) that I am trying to convert to save storage space. The original is stored as 1920×1080, I assume with some flag saying it should be rotated.
Prior to updating, I had no problem converting similar videos using the Fast 1080p 30
preset with the rotate filter, resulting in a smaller file with a resolution of 1080×1920. After updating to 1.1.0, I have been unable to output the video correctly. No matter what I change in the Dimensions tab, it locks the height to a max of 1080. Depending on the options, it may output either a 608×1080 video or a 1080×1080 pillarboxed video.
How can I output this video correctly? Or am I better off finding a way to revert to whatever version I had before?

Maybe the resolution is limited by the selected preset. You can create a new custom preset which allows higher resolutions.
Press Presets button for showing the side presets panel.
Then, click Add button.
And, finally, set the desired resolution:
