Rotating video 90 degrees

my wife shot a short 640x480 mpg clip of my son on a digital still camera but was holding it vertically. I used the perspective rotate filter to rotate it correctly but it now is stretched to fit the 640x480 timeline. what I want is the image rotated but black bars on either side so that it fits the 640x480 timeline with no distortion of the image. what's the best way of going about this? Thanks in advanced!

in the Motion tab, there is a "distort" function - you can slide that adjuster to turn the square image into a rectangle with pillar boxing on each side.

  • Is it possible to rotate video from the iPhone 4 90 degrees?

    I'm a newbie and unfortunately shot a bunch of HD video with my iPhone 4 in a vertical format - now on playback it's rotated 90 degrees to the right. Is there any way to rotate the video 90 degrees to the left so it appears correctly on playback? I don't mind if it gets cropped, I just want to be able to see it correctly. Thanks!

    i believe you can use Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7 to do this. google will be your best bet on finding instructions, though.

    Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos.  Help!!!

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

  • Why does the frame of my rotated video not rotate also?

    I've checked these forums and followed the method to rotate a video that turned out to be rotated 90 degrees. When I rotated the video it rotated all right but the frame is still vertical portrait format and did not rotate also. What I wind up with is a tall vertical frame that has a properly rotated video that has both ends cropped off. Any other videos I now add to the timeline are also inside of this tall frame and also cropped off because the frame is tall and narrow, not rotated with the image.
    How do I go about doing this correctly? Is it possible to just rotate a video that has turned on its side and have the format or frame rotate also?
    TIA, Ken

    It never ceases to amaze me the odd hours that the loyal Adobe staff puts in. Look at the time stamp on Mark's post.
    To be more specific, just in case other people come along with the same question, create the sequence from your clip first. That will make it the right size and shape and frames per second to match up with your video.
    You can do this by dragging the clip to the "New Item" button or just right-click on the clip in the project panel and select "New Sequence From Clip".
    Once you have the perfect sequence just change it from this:
    To this:
    Then you can use the Motion effect on the clip to rotate it 90 degrees (or minus 90 degrees).
    Unfortunately, you can't, as far as I know, rotate the clips in the project panel. Only in the sequence. So one possible solution, and it depends on the clips and your workflow, is to put all of the clips on the timeline, rotate them all by rotating the first one and copying the attributes to all of the others at one time. You can then take that sequence into the Source monitor and use it just like a clip. That is one of the great things about nested clips. From there you can cut it up into smaller clips if you so desire. It doesn't seem to be possible to create actual subclips from a sequence, but you cam mark the in and out points and drag them to the project panel, then rename them if so desired.
    Some of my friends here on the forum seem to hate the concept of video shot in portrait mode on a phone or a video camera. However, there are times when it makes perfect sense to me. Especially when it is going to be displayed on a monitor that is oriented in portrait mode. Lots of advertising done that way. And who says that video on a web site has to be landscape? Why would you shoot the Eiffel Tower of the new Freedom Tower in landscape mode?
    If you are shooting video of a person standing and talking to put on the side of a web page, portrait makes more sense.
    Anyway, I hope this helps.

  • Rotating video files

    When photographing using a video camera I occasionally rotate the camera by 90 degrees, especially if the subject is higher than it is wide.  However, when importing the resulting video file into LR3 the images are rotated and must be edited with an external editor so they can be viewed correctly.  Does LR4 have the capability of editing video files in order to rotate the images by 90 degrees?
    As an example, I used my Canon S95 to record a video file of the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone last Spring, and rotated the camera in order to take advantage of the portrait versus landscape mode.  However, when importing into LR3 the images were on their sides.  I had to use an external editor to rotate the images so that Old Faithful was up-and-down instead of lying on its side.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi John
    to no: 2
    In iMovie as standard - NO
    1. Cxf - Turn Clip - think it is a free plug-in there
    2. QT-pro (in 90-deg steps) but about $20 extra
    3. FCE/P - expencive - but very interesting solution
    4. there's a 4th, free option to rotate video:
    goo' ol' Streamclip allows opening of dv-file,
    rotate & shrink (75%) ...
    illustrated how-to on my site...:

  • Rotating Video Playback within SWF

    At playback I am rotating a video (FLV) from a landscape to a
    portrait perspective (90 degree rotation) within a flash SWF. From
    a technical perspective, does flash just rotate the video on the
    fly, or does it go as far as to recreate and redraw the video in
    the new perspective?
    Are there any known issues with rotating video using
    flash?

    Here is a link to a great example...

  • Rotate -90 degrees to play in a vertical monitor...

    Hi all!
    Is it possible to Rotate -90 degrees image to play in a vertical monitor...
    I have all the sequence edited with Motion / FCP / PSPs... now the client needs a dvd to play in a vertical monitor.
    Is it possible to rotate in DVDsp (at the burn time)?
    A couple of guys told me that Nero could do it... ok... Nero = Windows... so... nahhh...
    Do you have a tip?
    (ok i could rotate in FCP, but what about the background...)
    Help!
    Thank you!
    HBars

    Even if Nero could do this, you really would not want to. Your dimensions are going to be all wrong. You would have to scale up your video (making everything soft and fuzzy) and then hope that nothing happens on the left or right of the video (which are now cropped off).
    If you want a vertical video (that doesn't look like crap) you will have to shoot it that way from the start. At my company, the cameraman went home to weld together an L shaped bracket so that he could attach the camera at a 90º angle on the tripod. The alternative is to shoot handheld with the camera tipped on its side.
    You then have to edit everything on its side. Take your broadcast monitor and put it on its side. For your computer monitor you will have to just turn your head to the side.

    Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
    Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
    Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
    Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
    Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
    The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
    Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
    It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
    Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
    You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
    Please review and consider.
    Thanks.

  • Rotating Video Images

    When my Panny ZS7 records audio with a still image, the result is a video clip consisting of a low resolution copy of the image and an attached audio track. A full resolution copy of the image is imported separately. So far, so good.
    The problem I'm facing is that the still image attached to the audio clip is the original image without rotation, and I can't find a way to adjust the rotation. If the image was taken in portrait format (camera tilted +/-90 degrees from horizontal), the image in the video clip is tilted at 90 degrees.
    Aperture doesn't have a feature that allows me to adjust this. I've tried importing into iMovie 11 (not that I particularly want to do video editing), but it doesn't have the capability to rotate video by 90 degrees either.
    Has anyone here found a work around?

    Hi,
    Do you have a licence for Quicktime Pro? You can rotate video in Quicktime 7, if you have an upgrade licence, as  niklasfrombristol recently discovered - see this thread. Correct AnswerRe: iMovie edits don't show in Aperture.
    iMovie 11 can rotate video by 90 degrees, I have already used that option, but you need to reimport the file iMovie exports. The quicktime solution is much mor convenient.

  • Rotate Video

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone has managed to rotate the video
    player by 90 degrees on a handset? I need to rotate a video from
    protrait view to fullscreen landscape view.
    It seems when you rotate the video object by 90 degrees on
    stage, the video player stays the same. Looks like we need a way to
    phisically rotate the Real Player by 90 degrees, (using an external
    script, like when 'landscape' mode is turned on on the handset.)
    Any ideas?
    Cheers.

    Hi Insomniak ,
    Thanks for the suggestion, but I can rotate the Video Object
    on stage fine. The problem I have is that the Real Player that
    phisically plays the video does not rotate. So when I rotate the
    Video Object, the actual video just plays the same way around.
    Try a test to see what I mean.
    There is some C++ code to rotate video on a handset, but
    without any C++ experience I have no idea how to get this to work.
    Anyone here with C++ experience who can recommend a solution?
    Cheers

  • Newbie question: Rotating video and resizing the frame

    Hey guys'n'gals,
    I'm new at doing "advanced" (relative term) editing to video in Adobe Premiere Pro (CS4 version 4.2.1) and was hoping that 1) there's a way to change the output size of a video (IE: 640X480 to 480X640), 2) that someone can please tell me how, and 3) how to  rotate the video that's currently sideways.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brandon

    Brandon,
    I'm not sure that I am following. You say that you have the Video shot vertically, i.e. rotated 90 degrees, but then want to Export to a vertical Aspect Ratio.
    First, you can just choose a Desktop Preset, set the Aspect Ratio to match your footage, and then Export that to a delivery scheme that allows complete control of the Aspect Ratio - obviously not any of the DV/BD formats.
    Now, if you want to Rotate that vertical footage to horizontal, you can use the fixed Effect>Rotate. Note: you will have to now resize your footage to fit into a horizontal Frame Size Aspect Ratio. This would then allow you to Export to a horizontal Aspect Ratio, but I am not sure that this is what you really want in the end.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Is there a way to rotate video on export through Media Encoder?

    My company produces a fair amount of content for vertical screens (i.e. 16x9 screen rotated 90º clockwise).  All the content is produced and delivered as 1920x1080p video (with the content rotated 90º counter-clockwise) so that we can work with standard broadcast equipment.
    It's a minor step in our workflow but when we send out web approvals, first we have to drop the edit sequences into another 1080x1920 sequence and export that.  It would be nice if Media Encoder had an input setting or effects option to rotate video so we can avoid that step.

    Doubtful (in fact very unlikely). You can check the app store for something - I beleive there are one or two that mirror a desktop to the iPad - but the only readily available "outside source" for an iOS device is steaming by way of a cloud or web source.

  • Copy and paste of links in landscape rotates 90 degrees

    When doing copy/paste of multiple links on landscape forms in Acrobat 10, the links pasted rotated 90 degrees. How can this be fixed? I saw a post with the same problem for Acrobat 9 Pro, and they were able to use ctrlC/ctrlV, but that does not work for us. We have maps with MANY links and the maps get updated frequently, so we have to move the links over. It is way too time consuming to have to recreate all the links every time the map changes. It works fine in portrait version, why is there a problem with landscape? Please help!!! Lisa

    It was printed to .pdf from Autocad which always prints portrait, we then rotated the map to landscape.

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

  • Why do circles rotated 45 degrees in PowerPoint slides not appearing in PDF -- a bug?

    I am using Acrobat XI Professional and PowerPoint 2013 in Windows 8.
    I have two PowerPoint slides. One slide is a filled-in circle. The other slide has another filled-in cirlce that is rotated 45 degrees. When I convert the PowerPoint presentation with the two slides to PDF using Acrobat > Create PDF, the circle that is rotated 45 degrees does not appear in the PDF document. This is true for all circles rotated by a factor of 45 degrees with the excpetion of circles that are factors of 90 degrees. LoriAUC pointed out to me that Save As > PDF works -- and it does.
    Here is the PowerPoint presentation: http://www.aespen.ca/AETests/TheCaseOfTheMissingDot/Presentation1.pptx.
