Rotating videos in Quicktime Prop & uploading to youtube

I recorded a video on my digital camera, and rotated it from horizontal to vertical with Quicktime Pro. However, on uploading it to youtube the video has rotated back to its original state, which means you have to tilt your head to watch it. Is there a way of preventing this from happening?

Open the file as is in MPEG Streamclip.
Export to a non lossy QT format like Animation. (File export to Quicktime, select animation as the codec)
Open that in QTPro.
Rotate and save in a reasonable format, H264 with a bitrate of 1400 will do a good job.
You cannot export MPEG 1 or 2 at all from QT and not lose the audio so you will have to convert to QT with Streamclip to get a workable QT file that you can edit in QTPro.
Since it will be gigantic you need to compress it so it can be submitted, if they handle H264 then use that, if not use MPEG-4 and a 2500 kbps bitrate.
Note MPEG-1 looks pretty lousy most of the time, and a lot of Youtube clips look pretty awful too in Flash due to low bit rates originally and upscaling bigger than 320X240 (MPEG-1 standard) so this should look no worse.
I don't rotate clips as a rule, but when it is open in Streamclip have a gander at the options and see if you can rotate and save in MPEG-4 and all in one step. I know you can crop the size, so rotation, maybe too.

  • Why won't Quicktime movie upload to YouTube?

    I made a Flip-4-Mac video using handheld Flip video device....then uploaded to my iMac as an .avi file.  Decided to upload to YouTube but file was nearly 30 minutes long....  so then used the QuickTime Player 10.0 (133)  'trim' feature to divide video into 3 (not quite equal) parts.  This left me with 3 separate videos labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.  They are .mov files.
    Using QuickTime's 'Upload to YouTube' option, I began upload of Part 1. During upload, a message appeared saying audio might not be in sync, and then I got an error message saying upload couldn't be completed. 
    Anyone have any ideas?   Is the VeeScope Converter an option?
    -R

    Thanks, but the instructions within those links are too over the top for me.  Will have to find a techie to help sort it out.  Appreciate the links and will print out the info.
    Then switch your editing work flow to one that forces recompression of your files for sharing to YouTube. The fact that your current work flow goes from AVI to MOV file containers implies you could be using a "Save as..." operation rather than an H.264/AAC conversion. This means your MOV file main still contain whatever audio and video codecs were used to create the original AVI file. Since you did not tell us what compression formats are involved here, provide a specific work flow, indicate the duration or target display involved, all we can do is make guesses at what problems you may be experiencing and their possible solutions. If you do not understand the instructions as provided by YouTube for optimal uploads, the use an editing app that also shares your edited files directly to YouTube as such apps should export the edited content using compression formats currently compatible with the YouTube web site software.

  • Best Video/audio format to upload to YouTube

    Please recommend best Video/audio format to upload to YouTube, for a) upload speed, b) picture and sound quality.

    Emailing video can be a real drama.
    You can easily convert YouTube video if you have the free software MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Download version 1.9.3b4 and install in your applications.
    Open then File > Open URL and copy/paste the YT clip address.
    Then File > Export to QuickTime and select Apple Intermediate Codec for the compression.
    The converted file will import into iMovie.

  • I'm new to FCPX and Compressor 4.  My HD video looks terrible when uploaded to YouTube and are no longer 720 or 1080p HD.  Are there codes or a secret handshake to have my HD video remain HD on youtube.  All help appreciated.

    I have been editing in FCP X 10.0.6 and have had success with that on my Mac Book Pro Retina.  But when I go to compress the 1 minute video detined for YouTube inputing that I wish for it to remain in HD (720 and or 1080p) via Compressor 4, the video compresses and I upload it to youtube via their uploader and when the video is played back it looks aweful.  Needless to say it is no longer HD and very blurry.  Is there any help you can give me with step by step codes to follow to ensure my 1 minute video is viewable in HD? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.  

    Thanks a million Russ for you time and input.  I have recompressed my project several times and that aspect has worked a charm.  But I seem to come unstuck when I upload my compressed video to youtube only.  All the presets seem fine and I have done it using either ProRes or Youtube/Vimeo HD options.  I have just left them on my desktop and uploaded to youtube via their uploader from there after sucessfully compressing them with Compressor 4.  Yet, there seems to be no improvement in the picture quality.  Mind you the sound is fine.  I will get busy with some screenshots if you still think they would be handy.  Many thanks again for your consideration. I really had hoped it was as simple as a secret handshake too. Darn. LOL  -RR

  • Video quality downgrade after uploading to Youtube

    Hey everyone, I've just started making movies and been playing around with video options for a few days and gotten past a few major milestones, however I just want to see how I can increase the video quality as the exported file doesn't look nearly as good once it's uploaded to youtube.
    Quick notes about how I do it atm: First, I use FRAPS to capture video with Adobe Premiere 4.0 exporting my files as full 1900x1200 @ 29.97 FPS using the Windows Media Video 9 codec.
    Encoding process: Two
    Bitrate mode: Variable Unconstrained
    Pixel Aspect ratio: Square
    Decoder Complexity: Auto
    Keyframe Interval [seconds]: 5
    Average Bitrate[kbps]: 10,000
    Exported video looks fine, however when I upload to youtube the quality really downgrades...viewable and correct resolution but still crummy for such a great looking vid. Hoping someone can help me out here! Thanks in advance.
    Source video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avzzkywqRcE

    First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
    Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
    Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

  • How do you rotate videos in Quicktime 10.0?

    I shot video vertically and would like to show it horizontal but can't figure out how to rotate the video in Quicktime Player 10.0. I find help information on earlier versions but they don't seem to apply in this version.

    It always comes down to spending money doesn't it? Thanks for your help. I was planning to move to Lion soon anyway, guess I'll do it sooner now.

  • Rotate videos in QuickTime???

    Hiya,
    I've got a Panasonic compact camera which records videos in a QuickTime format. Trouble is, if I record with the camera vertical, I can't seem to rotate them either on the camera, or in QuickTime. At present I am only using standard QT, not Pro. I use XP, and my computer is a custom job.
    Have any of you clever people got any ideas? Can I transfer the file as another format so that I can use, say, VisualDub to rotate it?
    Please, please help! Thank you!!
    Matt

    Thanks. MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to have a rotate feature that I can find, but it is sufficient that it can convert the format from QT to AVI so that I can rotate in VirtualDub. A free solution is always preferable!
    Thanks again.

  • How can I edit a .3pg video on iMovie and upload to Youtube without compromising the quality of the video?

    So far I have just transfered the .3pg video files from my Droid X to my Macbook Pro.  iMovie won't let me open a .3pg file and the last time I used a .mov, there was no option to view the video on 720p, which is what I would like.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is a free download.
    Also, install the Perian components from Perian.org. (Also free).
    Drag your android clip into MPEG Streamclip. The FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the Apple Intermediate Codec as the codec.
    You can import the resulting file into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

  • Recorded a Playbook video and want to upload to Youtube

    Not having any luck. Is the Playbook video file type not compatible? Suggestions on path forward would be appreciated. 

    Upload speeds from your ISP might be a big factor. 720p video is huge. If you I stall AIR browser from Apple World you can check the size. If your upload speed is low you might need to downcovert it. You can use MS MovieMaker on Windows and I Am sure Apple has probably a free app as well go downcovert it to 480 to make the files smaller.

  • Why does my video get blurry when uploaded to youtube?

    I shot my video on a 5d m2, Processed it in premeir Pro cs6 and exported full res and encoded for you tube. It is tack sharp on my computer quick time player etc, but when loaded into youtube looks like a cell phone video.  Please help!  Thanks to all for your help.

    Try exporting using the H.264 preset for YouTube at the dimensions of your video. It sounds like you may have done that but you were not specific.
    Also, verify that you are looking at the HD version of the video when you use the YouTube player. All this assumes that you waited long enough for YouTube to process the HD version. It first encodes a SD version, then it encodes the HD version.

  • No audio when uploading a screen recording via quicktime on mac to youtube.

    I've used screen recorder via quicktime for upload to youtube it has both visual and audio when I've viewed it but after uploading to youtube the audio is missing. I'm new to mac so a complete novice. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi
    This is a bit unclear to me.
    No audio when recording
    No Video-editing program I know off play any feedback (at standard settings) while recording. FinalCut is even worse that it doesn't play the sound while importing from Camera either (one need to connect speakers to the Camera-audio-out to get this)
    So first - I'm not sure if You can get audio out while recording in iMovie at all.
    BUT
    If there is no sound - When Your captured video is played back - then the problem is more severe and I would start with.
    • Trashing iMovie pref and cache files
    and see if that helps.
    Please - be more descriptive - so that one can do the same actions to see if Your problem is Yours only or if it is the same on more Macs.

  • I movie w/ spliced pics throw off movie when uploaded to youtube? The pics lag and is now off with the audio. Doesn't happen with video, just pics and it's worse if I splice the pics to fit audio. Suggestions?

    This is really annoying. I movie hd works well when compressing it to quicktime and uploading to youtube  but when there's pics involved and I have to slice them to fit audio it messes with the timing in conjunction to the audio. Any ideas? It works fine in quicktime when compressed but once it's uploaded to youtube it acts fishy. Even though it's fine in quicktime it seems to be an issue in I movie and how it's compressed or something.
    I movie HD- 5.0.2
    quicktime player- 7.5.5
    Compression settings
    compression: h.264
    quality: high
    key frame rate:24
    frame rec: yes
    encoding mode: multi pass
    dimensions: 320x 240
    sound
    format: acc
    sample rate: 48.000khz
    channels:mono
    bit rate:64kbps

    That's fantastic, worked really well, just like you said. I actually didn't expect such an easy solution to my problem, thanks very much.
    It had the added bonus that it allows me to import the files quicker than before to iMovieHD if I am editing them.
    Thanks again

  • Having trouble changing the "kind" of video in order to upload to internet

    what i mean when i say kind: if you look up the file you exported in finder there are at least 3 types of information given 1. the name 2. the "kind" 3. date opened
    when i export using quick-time conversion the sequence i am exporting always stays as either a final cut express file or a live type file. i Dont want it to be either.
    In one case the movie was exported and the name was even changed to .mov yet the kind remained a kind of final cut express file.
    The closest i've come to exporting a video that can be uploaded to youtube is when i try exporting as mpeg-4 but still that is a live type file....
    I obviously dont know how to fix this problem. please help

    If you're exporting for the purpose of uploading to Youtube, export via Quicktime Conversion and follow these guidelines:
    http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=165543
    Exporting from FCE should never give you a livetype file. Certain file types you export from FCE (most notably Quicktime .movs) will by default be displayed as Final Cut Express movie files. All this means is they by default open back up in FCE if you double-click them. To change this behavior, right-click on one and select "Get Info." You can then select a new default program (such as Quicktime) to open them with.

  • After FCX export, video of stills are choppy on YouTube

    I have a series of videos that I have uploaded to YouTube, they are made up of entirely high-resolution images (which have been shrunk a bit in Photoshop). The images are mostly panned throughout the video, and appear a bit choppy at times on YouTube, obviously varying from what I am seeing in FCX.
    I have tried pretty much all the types of exports, and have even tried re-exporting the video through Photoshop (it has more export options that FCX?) This obviously degrades the images a bit, but still results in some lag in YouTube video.
    What am I missing / what is the optimal way to export videos of just still images?
    Being that the photos are of such high quality, I'm trying to keep them as clear and smooth moving as possible.
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but I'm not  sure I understand. You mean varies when played from YT site…or played from files located on a computer?
    YouTube recompresses your video – as does Vimeo, et al. You gave them a video formatted file – not stills. So the question I have is how well did FCP treat your PNGs when it encoded to that video format. Which is why I was asking how they played in QT from the file stored on your computer.
    Here is an article on compressing for YT that you may find helpful.

  • 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.
