How do I rotate an upside down video?

I have recorded a video on a 4S iPhone and it has uploaded upsidedown on my MacBook. Is here a way to rotate the video, and save it this way?

You can use iMovie to rotate videos.

Feature Request: To Tell You Are Taking Upside Down Video

As iOS 6 is about to release, I hope they can add this little feature to the camera.
It is easy to flip a picture back to how it should look if you hold the phone the wrong way. However, it will be more difficult to do so on a upside down video. Yes, it will look fine if I watch it with Quicktime, but not when I use other software / hardware.
Can the dev team add a little indicator to tell people they hold the phone upside down when taking video? Like make the flashlight button and front/back camera change button remain at the where it should be, and not follow the change of rotation.

Shoot Upside-down Video on Purpose

I saw a post on here about upside-down video happening to a guy by accident and it gave me an idea. I want to shoot upside-down on purpose and then rotate it to right side up. I do multicamera shoots by myself with preset cameras at different angles on tripods and a handheld for zooming and panning to get details (stage performances). Since I'm not always near them, there's always the danger of somebody bumping into the tripods and messing it up, the audience member who decides to stand up and yack with somebody for five minutes in front of a camera, or God forbid, just running off with one of my cameras. With todays lightweight cameras with super long run times and cheap memory it would be really easy to come up with some ceiling or wall mounts, maybe even magnetic, to hold a camera to a T-bar grid, I-beam, column, etc. upside-down. The camera tripod mounts are all on the bottom so designing a bracket to hold the cam right side up would complicate things a lot more, add weight, and make it hang lower. Of course all of the video would be digital and most likely AVCHD. My question is would rotating the final footage cause any degredation of the video or is it all done while still digital without being uncompressed first. Anybody know? Thanks.

I would stay away from magnets , because the digital media ( sd cards, chips in camera etc ) are not happy with magnetic stuff. Magnets tend to kill those things... so forget that idea.
You could use 750 pidgeons taped or screwed to walls, ceiling etc..or c-clamps with 750 stud to I beams, lots of stuff to use..with a gobo head and a PIN in head with thread on end to attach your camera ( can use thread adapters to go from 3/8 to 1/4 or 5/16 etc as needed ).. so anyway, however you attach doesnt matter but no magnets.
Turning cameras ( dutch angles, or vertical ) is common. With green screens of "people" its very common to turn camera vertical to get the MOST resolution for post work... and when that post work is DONE the result is put back into the horizontal frame for export. Here is sample of what I mean ...
http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?79720-Shooting-vertically-more-resolution-in-p ost
You can see that the person FITS into frame better with vertical frame ( camera turned sideways )..so for post work you get more resolution to do that work. THEN when done with that you have to put that into a horizontal frame for export and final product....cause thats how we watch movies.
Cameras dont care how you turn them etc.. so the fact of " generational " loss etc is up to your editing program and how it handles the data and export etc.. has nothing to do with what 'angle' you shoot at etc. Of course, if you go to horizontal from vertical like with sample above, you are "reducing" the image of the person to fit the horizontal frame in the end product...so you don't lose anything except the size of person.. and again, all this boils down to what your editing software can do regarding exports in general. So, no , you don't lose anything going upside down, cause who cares ? Not the camera.

Upside down video on vado central

Has anyone out there found a resolution to the upside down video after trying to create a video on Vado's software???
I am at wit's end with this company's software and so-called upgrades. Try to fix one problem caused by their software and you just get another, maybe worse, problem.
I followed Vado's directions exactly and got the Upside down video. Just read from another customer that there is no solution yet for this problem. And CL's tech, KokChoy is just confused and "guessing" his word at what could be a possible reason.

my cam is showing my picture upside down. I have ASUS LAPTOP K53E.

Cleanly correct upside down video?

I filmed 40 minutes of aerial video by attached my camera to a trike ultralight the only way I could - hanging upside down. At the time I figured that there would be a simple, fairly lossless way to right the video in my PPro CS3, but the only method I can find would be to put both the Horizontal Flip and Vertical Flip effects on the clip and make a new AVI file (I want it saved as archive footage for use in multiple projects). Is there a better way? Two flips seems like it would do more to the video quality than would be necessary to get the result I want, but... If there is a way I'm not aware of to do it in the capture process somehow, I'm also happy to recapture it.

There should not be a need to re-Capture. In the Set Effects for your Clip(s), look at Motion in the Effects Control Panel. When you twirl-down, you will see Rotation. This Effect will correct your Clip. If you have more than one Clips, apply it to the first, and then Rt-click on it, and choose Copy. Select all other Clips (Lasso them) and then Rt-click and Apply Attributes.
If you have other Effects that are common (the word "common" is important), then apply all of these, and do, as above. This will apply ALL Effects to the selected Clips. If you have Effects that you do not want in the rest, be careful, as you will Copy all of the Effects.
Good luck,

Help! Upside down video.

I recorded a video on my iPhone. When I imported it into iPhoto, I discovered that the video had recorded in an upside down orientation. Is there any way to flip this video over?
Thanks for your help!

Is there any way to flip this video over?
Not in iPhoto.
But you can rotate it using iMoive.

Cisco EX90 upside down video image

I am using EX90 with TC 7.1.4, my issue with camera which display my image on opposite side(upside down) even when I make a video call the other party will see my picture reversed upside down but I can see his picture fine.

That kind of sounds like the mechanism in the EX90/camera to detect when the camera is pointed downwards to use as a document camera is broken (or stuck).
Try flipping your camera down and back up a couple of times to see if this resolves the issue.
Failing that, I'd suggest you RMA your device through the TAC (assuming it's covered by an active service contract).

Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Flat Panel Display

I'll put in my 2 cents for this app. Works GREAT with iSight and QT Pro and iMovie HD. Seen it pop up on other apps (iChat for one) but rarely use it on for these few apps. Safari opens iGlasses for some reason... Anyone know why?

Fixing upside down video in Adobe After Effects

Okay, I shot some footage using my iphone4, somehow my footage came out up side down so i am wondering if Adobe After Effects CS5.5 has a fix for that. Thanks.

Select your video in the Projects Panel. Right click and select New Comp From Selection. Select the video in the timeline. Press S to reveal the scale property. Click the icon that looks like a chain link to deselect Constrain Proportions. Type -100 in the second scale property.
That's it.
You really need to go through the baiscs. You can't possibly learn AE by simply starting. Look here.

Upside down video

Hello,
i generate a DVD with Adobe Encore. everything was ok until watching the video. In fact, the video were upsidedown ?!?
I think i forget to do something or the automatic encoding is not the right choice ... my origin video is .avi.
Thank you to help me on this strange turnaround situation.
Melanie

Melanie,
As Jeff suggests, DivX (and Xvid) can cause this sort of problem. The file extension "AVI" is just a wrapper. All sorts of CODECs might be used in its creation. A freeware program, G-Spot, can tell you all about the file and also what CODECs are used, plus whether you have them properly installed on your system: www.headbands.com/gspot.
Let us know what it tells you about your AVI file, please.

How do I fix "Paper upside down" when it's not?

I'm printing DVD labels from Photoshop on "neato" paper, but when I hit "print", 9 times out of 10, the printer spits out the paper and asks me to turn the paper over. It's a real pain if you're printing several pages of labels at a time. It didn't always do this on this paper, just in the last couple moths. Running an HP C7280, on a Mac, OS 10.5.8

NitaJune,
You can try checking thru this:
None of the keys on my keyboard work
You can also try this (just a shot in the dark, can't harm anything)
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If no joy, , you may also try a different USB keyboard to see if that functions properly, if not, do as QuickTimeKirk suggests

How to make iCloud photostream show upside down photos in correct orientation

My question is related to iPhone 5s/iOS 7.1.2, Camera.app, iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) for Mac, iCloud shared Photostream.
I have taken photos with iPhone 5s upside down (using volume buttons, i.e. Home button on the left) and loaded them on my Mac (MacBook Pro 15” mid 2012 with OS X 10.9.4 with iPhoto). I copied the photos from the iPhoto photostream into iPhoto library in an album of their own and rotated the upside photos in the correct orientation. Then I shared the photos in iCloud and the photos which I had roated to correct orientation where once again upside down. And when I drag&drop the photo (which has the corrected orientation) from iPhoto library album into a Finder folder the photo is once again upside down when I open it with Preview.
I have a notion that all Apple software on Mac shows correctly the iPhone upside photos (because it reads the photo metada) and practically all non-Apple software both on Mac and PC doesn’t use iPhone photos’ metadata and show the photos upside down.
Is there any way to make iCloud show the shared photos in correct orientation in the browser without rotating the photo with external application in iPhoto or is there a bug in iCloud or is the iPhoto rotation a "fake rotation"? I want to ensure that people with whom I share the photos, see it always in the correct orientation (no matter what the platform is) so that they don’t have to struggle with rotating of the stuff and I don’t have to take extra steps to rotate the upside down photos outside iPhoto.
N.B. 1: I understand that in the future I always have to shoot photos and videos with iPhone Home-button on the rigth side (i.e. volume buttons pointind down). My question is related to the photos I have already taken.
N.B. 2: I just learned that when I rotate the photo with Preview, throw it back into iPhoto library album and then add the rotated photo in the shared stream, it is in the correct orentation in iCloud. However, I want to avoid this extra step

That's the answer to your question. Why is it you want to avoid this?
Because it is an extra step. So, I already rotated the photo with iPhoto's rotation functionality, but the rotated photo is upside down in iCloud photostream. I think it should stay rotated when shared in iCloud. The other problem is that if I forgot to rotate the photo before sharing it in photostream, I have to delete the photo from the photostream and add a rotated version from the iPhoto library in photostream and now the order of the photos is incorrect. iCloud adds the last shared photo as the first photo in the stream. At least I haven't found a way to place the new photo in its original (the correct) palce in the stream.

Emailing iphone 4S photos to someone arrive upside down

when emailing a photo from iphone 4s camera roll, it arrives from 90 degree rotation to upside down (180 degrees). What causes this?

I agree that Apple needs to fix this. For some reason, I do not remember this problem on earlier versions of iOS 4, but it may well have been there all along. But now that I have iOS 5, it seems that no matter how I take a photo--either in portrait layout or lanscape--it gets tilted when e-mailed from my iPhone and then viewed on a regular PC. Video can and does sometimes come out upside down. I found that I could use Windows Movie Maker to reorient the movie to right side up, but the process seems to double the file size..so a 2 minute video that is 170MB ends up being 330MB ! Somehow the orientation metadata is getting lost or corrupted. I've seen a couple of forum posts suggesting that Apple doesn't want to set an all-purpose "this way is up" metadata tag because there are, apparently, some folks out there who do really want to shoot pictures and video upside down. If that's the case, I'd suggest instead that Apple add a camera settings option in the "settings" section that allows for both an "always up" setting and a "fixed frame" so that idiots like me will always have their pictures and video orientented up while true artists can have the option to decide what is up and upside down. Until then, I have not yet figured out how to prevent post-picture e-mail photo orientation grief. Each e-mailed photo tends to be its own orientation surprise.
