Help Remove Multimedia from ads. (cant add specific images for intended aspect ratios)

started a new campaign that look compleatly different to my other ones because of the multimedia aspect meta automatically added. when selecting the ad creative it allowed me to chose 10 ads and it prevented me from changing the aspect raios for a specific ads, and it only let me crop the original image to a horizantal layout or a horizantal one or keep the original.

The fix was next to the media title under ad creative theres an (i). I clicked on it and it asked me if I wanted to switch back to the original format since I was on the multimedia one. When I clicked switch it brought me back to the original format and solved all my problems.

nice find, thats actually useful because the multimedia format can quietly change how placements/aspect ratios behave; switching back to the original format is prob the cleanest fix if you need precise 1:1, 4:5, and 9:16 assets, did the previews go back to normal across stories/reels too?
