Iphone4 video upside down in FCP

Does anyone else know how to fix this? I flipped all the video, then rendered but it still plays upside down. Should I export it and then bring it back? if so what settings do you suggest that mimic the video quality?

I'm having the same problem...
I import video via image capture or aperture 3. The video plays just fine in quicktime, but when I import to FCP the video is upside down. The only quick solution is to rotate video once it's in the timeline... but sometimes you have to rotate 180 and sometimes 360, doesn't make sense... very annoying. Let me know if you find a fix. thanks.

Turn video upside down?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to turn video upside down?
The video was shot on a portable device (mp4 format) whilst the device was wrong way around, making the image upside down, and I want to keep this particular video.
If this is possible, I'd really appreciate knowing the application that does it.
Many thanks in advance for advice.

I use Quicktime Pro to rotate movies that I capture with an upside-down recorder. Here are some instructions I found:

Iphone movie upside down in fcp

Hello, I've followed through every question I can find on this and no one sems to be giving an answer. I apparently shot vodeo upside down on my iphone and brought it into FCP from iphoto. I also brought it in Image capture. How is is possible that there is no way of rotating this? I feel desperate and I've been working on this for hours.
I would appreciate any help.
I use fcp 6.0.6 and the mac is a 10.6.8

HI Meg, I had looked at this before ( see below) and was going to try it but since I don't have ProRes LT I used ProRes and the estimated file size is 47 G.
I think it's too cumbersome to work with. The end place is Youtube with a dvd in the gallery so I don't need this quality.
Any other suggestions

Wrote this over on reddit - thought it'd be useful here.
Here's the problem: +What you have is 720p 24 frame h.264 files with 44k aac audio+. It doesn't matter if you understood this.
What's happening is that FCP can't handle compressed audio in RT; so you have a red render bar - which is giving you the beeping.
Final Cut Pro is optimized to work with footage in 'common' video formats - formats that are geared for editing. The problem with the supercompressed stuff like this is that it's meant for distribution, not really for editing.
Camera based (and editing based) codecs usually have all the information on every frame. There's less decoding for the editorial software (and less rendering) because the software has to essentially decode one frame.
Distribution codecs usually have a full frame…and then a series of frames that are only changes. Editorial software has to cache up to 15 frames to decode a single frame; it's stressful and the renders are far longer.
*Getting settings right is a pain*. So, starting in FCP 5, when you drop the first clip into the timeline, FCP will ask if you want to set the sequence to match your footage. Performance will be optimized this way. If you do this - you'll have Real Time (RT) video, audio, many effects and transitions - and the ability to tell FCP to use Unlimited RT - a way of having FCP play frames that might need rendering…without rendering (yes, I"m simplifying)
+But that only works when it's a piece of video optimized for editorial+
When you drop footage that is not standard, FCP still shows you the dialog box asking if you want to conform the sequence. It builds a sequence that matches the footage (as close as possible) You'll get zero RT effects, but you'll be able to play the video. But compressed audio ain't happening. Don't ask me why, I can only guess that the priority of non-standard, compressed audio is below other priority features/programming/bugfixes.
How to solve your problem. If you set this up, you can automate this. Reading this will take far longer than actually doing it.
We need to get your video into something native that FCP can edit - especially the audio.
We'll start by dragging a piece of your video into Compressor. Then under settings type LT into the search box. The top hit should be for Apple ProRes 422 (LT) - a less compressed codec.
But Apple hasn't gotten our audio right. So we need to fix it, save the preset…and then to automate the process save our setting as a droplet.
Fix the audio:
1) Select the ProRes LT setting in the top window and the inspector will light up.
2) The first inspector tab is for the Summary - we need to press the second one to get access to the encoders.
3) On the encoder tab, we need to switch the audio from Pass-through to enabled.
4) Then we're going to press the settings button.
5) Change the Format to Linear PCM, Stereo (L R), 48kHz, sample size 16 bits. Press Okay.
We now have THIS setting correct.
6) On the bottom right of the inspector is a button called SAVE AS… 7) Call this iPhone to FCP (ProRes LT)
Let's make a droplet
8) Clear the Search field on the Settings window.
9) Open the Custom Group
10) Select the iPhone to FCP (ProRes LT) and press the button at the top left of the Settings window that looks like a video file with a down arrow.
11) Save the droplet to your desktop.
Now you can drag your iPhone movies to the droplet, it'll throw up a dialog box, press submit and Compressor will transcode all your files to ProRes, ready to go in FCP.
*I did all of this for you. Here's the linked file http://files.me.com/jeffgreenberg/8iprtv*
+tl;dr Pass the files through compressor using the ProRes LT setting with one modification. It'll create much bigger files, but FCP will work (full RT effects.)+

I somehow filmed a video upside down, is there a way to flip it?

I filmed a 16 minute video and somehow it was filmed upside down. So everytime I try to watch it on my iPad, it automatically flips over to being upside down. My son needs access to it. Is there a way to flip the video?

A video editing program will flip it. unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with App based ones to recommend one. You could play with some of the free ones to see if they will do it for you.

IPhone video upside down in FF4

When I put landscape iphone video to my .mac gallery is it upside down.
Looks fine in chrome and safari and imovie.
I checked the web.
Some folks say that I should have taken the landscape video with the home button on the right (I did not).
Others say the problem is the quicktime plug in in FF4.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.

In response to Rudegar, I already checked my original movie in different browsers:
See where I said:
"Looks fine in chrome and safari and imovie."
In any case, I did what I should have done before.
I now made two very short movies, one with the home button on the right, one on the left.
Then I tested, and it indeed is FF 4.
All other browsers showed both movies fine.

Hi
I agree with the Mores. Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party applications and you should contact the support of the software manufacturers.
Furthermore if you have some problems with this software you should try to use any other programs. There are a many other DVD playing programs like WinDVD, PowerDVD which works properly.

Imported video upside down

Tyring to encode mpg files as FLVs. When I import the mpgs,
they are upside down. Same problem with Flash CS3 and Flash
Encoder. The mpgs play fine in Windows Media Player and can be
converted by Windows Media Encoder without problem. Any ideas? The
files were created using Pinnacle Studio.

In addition to Sue's suggestions, you can use iMovie's built in Mirror video effect to turn your clips upside down or, in your case, right side up. Switch to Editing>Vide FX and select the Mirror effect. Now slide the Vertical slider all the way to the Bottom setting and move the Horizontal slider all the way to the Right. Matt_______

IPhone4S Camera Upside Down after 5.0.1 Update

The 5.0.1 Update was pushed to my iPhone this afternoon. Naively, I loaded it and rebooted. Although I appreciate the Camera that made an apprearance on the lock screen, unfortunately, it now displays in reverse orientation. And, when I take a picture-- it's upside down. When I turn the camera to shoot, ALL of my pics are upside down. No matter WHAT direction I hold the camera in--they ALL turn out upside down. This is HORRIBLE.
Can I get the old OS back, is there a fix (BACK to the way it was), or should I just return to the AT&T store?
Thank you.

I finally worked around Apple's problem. I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer. Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes. I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out. Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone. I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc. It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before. I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years. It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems. Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update. It was a major pita.

Call failed, echo problem, video upside down

First I am currently in Ethiopia, for the time being I am unable to send the iPhone to the service. So just email me the solutions i might try.
1. I don't know this is the right place to ask but any way my phone says "call failed" in the middle of talking and also it some times don't even call just display "call failed" with "call back" & "end call" option.
2. The other think is i hear echo of my voice in the middle of conversation with other person during a call, very annoying. I tried the headset loud speaker but non of them have resolved the issue.
3. I recorded a video in landscape mode , i.e. Volume button up; can be pressed by my right index finger, and when i transfer the video to my pc the video is inverted vertically. And i am unable to see the video properly.
4. I saw a mac with Ethiopian calender but i can't find this in the iPhone. So since i am in Ethiopia for a while can you help me change the calendar to the Ethiopian Calender to schedule my appointments easily.
Please help me to solve this problems, other than that the iPhone is Perfect Phone for Me!
Thanks

Video imported upside down.

Lightroom 5.4 imports my mp4 videos upside down. The videos were originally taken with a HTC One, but moved to my hard drive before importing them. The video is displayed upside down in the thumbnail preview for the import dialog, the library and during playback. The video plays normally on my computer.
Details:
Lightroom 5.4
OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
HTC One M8

that's pretty strange. What format is the video? Bet it's not a fcp friendly format. Wonder what would happen if you used compressor to convert to a fcp friendly format like one of the flavors of prores. If you do this, remember to make sure audio is not pass thru (if the audio is compressed which I bet it will be) but enabled and converting to 48l 16 bit.

Hi,
Most video editing software will be able to rotate video - a free option is Windows Movie Maker - see the answer on the following link.

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.
