View Full Version : Rotate movie?

Well, I cleverly took a short movie with my Sony v3 camera(still camera).
Unfortunately, I took it in the vertical position and now when I play it back it is rotated to the right. Is there any way to rotate this back to an upright position to see it without tilting my head all the way to the right?
I have a few image editors that allow viewing movies but none have the ability to rotate it as they can with a still image.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Quicktime Pro will do the job. You can get to its rotate feature under "Movie Properties." From there click on the "Video Track" and then "Visual Settings."

There might be some free solutions out there, but I know for a fact that on the PC side, there's no other video app that comes even close to what QTPro can do for the price. I own several pro packages for OS X, so when I had to find something that would allow me to convert the horrid-but-dead-Indeo format to something I could edit, I spent days trying to find a free solution for my PC. Anyway, nothing I trialed for under $100 was doing the job, or if it could do it, it would export really poor video. The next thing I knew, I was looking at apps like Sorenson Squeeze and Cleaner for the PC, which I already own for OS X. Only then did it dawn on me to just buy a QTPro PC license.
Rambles, I use it on my Mac all of the time to convert single files.

It's a good app to have around. It supports quite a few codecs and always does a very clean job exporting.
I've been using it since 98 as an indispensable support app.
