Is there any way to flip a video?

Question

I took a couple videos while I was on Mackinac Island. I was riding my bike down some really steep hills and the scenery was beautiful. But I was holding my camera sideways, so now when I play the video, its sideways.

Is there any way to flip the video so its right-side up? Like you would for a picture?

Answer 1

Check the settings.

Answer 2

It is quite possible to rotate your video - there are several different approaches that can be used. Unfortunately they require some technical "whoosa-whoosha" to get there, But the tools to do it are available and some are free.

First questions would be -

What is the make and model of the camera?

Is the camera digital or analog?

If it's a DV (Digital Video) camera, what format is the video in now? (ie. what is the extension of the file it is saved as?)

You can Google "rotating a video frame"  for some idea of the scope of this effort.

Still want to rotate the video ???  8^)

Answer 3

You can use premier or Windows Movie Maker.

I think MAC/APPLE  has something also, but I'm not sure.
