Problem with Canon PowerShot S410 / IXUS 430 Digital Camera

How to rotate a video clip I took vertically??

I took a video clip when the camera was held vertically, and when downloaded it to my pc, it was 90 degrees flipped. How do I rotate the MVI file?

    • Thanks for the detailed solution, but I faced couple of problems:

      1. Movie maker do not have a "tools" menue (at least for me)

      2. Quicktime did not have the "size" option as well.

    • Hi, I bought a Kodak digital C813 camera and took a video with the cameral sideways to get the tall view. After download, my video plays sideways. How can I rotate this 90 degrees? I have contacted Kodak help and they have no suggestions except "buy video editing software". The service person could not suggest a product or freeware.

Vista
Start - Programs - Windows Movie Maker

When the file name appears - drag the clip to the video line at the bottom of the screen - point at file name and hold down right mouse button while you move the mouse to point at the video timeline then let go of the right button to drop the video into the timeline.
Point and RIGHT click on the clip you just added to the timeline

Click the ADD button
Then click OK
The video will rotate.

Have Fun

    • It would probably work if it would let me put it as a video. For some reason it's not showing my video, it just has a black screen with audio, so it's not letting me put it as a video but only an audio file. How can I fix that?

    • By avatarnep_meneses Dec 18, 2010
    • JUST MAKE IT SURE THAT YOU HAVE DRAGGED THE VIDEO IN THE VIDEO TRACK LINE NOT IN THE AUDIO.,.REFER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LOWER PANE

YOU CAN ROTATE YOUR VIDEOS IN WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER IMPORT THE MOVIE THEN ADD IT TO THE STORY BOARD THEN RIGHT CLICK IT THEN CLICK ON VIDEO EFFECT THEN SCROLL DOWN TO YOU SEE ROTATE THEN FLIP IT TO 270 DEGREES DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION -THEN CLICK ON SAVE MOVIE FILE

    • Wonderfully clear advice. Brilliant!

Yes, Movie Maker will rotate the video. Unfortunately, it usually also screws with the aspect ratio. I'd suggest http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlvideofliprotate.html

    • as of 10/10/2010... doesn't seem to be available any longer :(

Microsoft's Movie Maker will rotate movie clips 90' but you must have XP installed. If you don't have it installed it's a free download or you should be able to add it from your XP Disk.


You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:

1. Import the video clip into Movie Maker.

2. Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.

3. On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.

4. To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90' video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

If that isn't the right direction:

To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

5. On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.

For detailed instructions, see Windows Movie Maker Help.

Note that you may need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio of your rotated video so that it looks normal during playback.

I'd recommend a good read of Movie Maker's Help section.

Another way is by using QuickTime Player, choose Get Movie Properties from the Movie menu, choose Video Track from the left pop-up menu, and choose Size from the right pop-up menu.

Click the Adjust button. Drag the red marks in the corners to resize the movie, and drag the red marks on the sides to skew the movie. Drag the red circle in the middle to rotate the movie.

You can rotate and flip a movie using additional buttons in the Size window. To restore the original appearance, click Normal. To present multiple movies in the same frame, add multiple video tracks and resize or skew each to the position you want. To put one movie in front of another, adjust the layer setting for a video track in the movie Properties window. "

I hope you understood that :-)

I'm not 100% positive but I believe Vegas will do similar tricks.

You can use Rotate Video Tool
Cheap and very reliable

Rotate Video from moonvalleysoft, i found it good

  • By Author imageyari Jun 27, 2010

Video clips are not meant to be taken in a vertical format. Other than rotating the clip, it would mean turning your monitor on its' side to view it correctly. More trouble than it's worth. Bottom line is, don't shoot video in the vertical format, unless you are very adept at video special effect use, and have the software to go through a complicated process.

i downloaded my video off my canon, and it was taken vertically is there a way or program like photobucket where i can rotate it?

Here is some software i found about a year ago it will flip any video from any recorded angle to the correct position. I couldn't find the website again so i upped it to Hotfile. As with any software on install uncheck the boxes so u dont install the ask toolbar and reset your homepage etc. And always virus scan any files from a source you dont know.

I have foolishly done this a couple of times too.....
Tried the windows movie maker option...good but distorts the proportions. This can be altered in the viewer but if you save the altered file it does not save the proportions so if you burn to dvd it is not good.
I tried the virtual dub from snapfiles and it is brilliant.....saves correctly to view too.....and better still it is free!!!
try it....I was so thrilled.

Sony Media Go 1.3 can rotate MP4, WMV, and some AVI videos without having to process them. It does it on the fly while the videos play.

We can use easily Sony Vegas to rotate movies as follows:
Insert movie in Timeline- ---- click on Track Motion button(@ left of timeline) >> a chart appears
- adjust the circle using ur mouse to 90 degrees (or as desired)
That is it
Good Luck
