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 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.

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.

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.

How Do you rotate videos in iPhoto without having to use Quicktime Pro?

I took videos from a concert and I'm wanting to make a video on iMovie with a mix of pictures and videos but i took pretty much all of my videos vertically
How can I rotate them?
I can't buy Quicktime Pro so is there any other way?
Help much appreciated!

There is no way to do this with iPhoto.
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=rotate+video&os=mac
lists various apps and plug-ins. Some are stand alone some work inside iMovie. You might find something there

Rotating video clip but losing audio?

this is my situation:
i took a video clip with my digital camera vertically instead of horizontally. so when everything on my camera was imported to iphoto that video clip was imported as a quicktime video. now im trying to figure out a way to rotate the vertical clip so that i dont have to turn my head 90 degrees everytime i watch it. in trying to figure out how to do that, i found an apple download called MPEG Streamclip. That allows me to rotate the clip however two things happens:
1) the audio is no longer there (the output volume is turned all the way up on the macbook... i promise. i checked at least a dozen times)
2) the video is now cropped weirdly so that the height is equal to the original width of the vertical video.
help? ive never used imovie before or any of these programs... i just want to enjoy my video...

Here are the instructions for using Streamclip.
You need to be sure to Export to DV--that should prreserve your audio. Before you Export to DV from Streamclip, Set the Zoom to 75% to preserve your dimensions.
Here's how to do it. Put the video clip into iMovie. Export the unrotated clip from iMovie to your desktop as a Full Quality Quicktime movie. Open the Quicktime Movie with Streamclip. From the Streamclip file menu, select Export to DV. When you do that, a panel will open up giving you choices to rotate (i.e., 90%CW (clockwise), etc.) Select the rotation you want. Set the zoom to 75%. Then export the .dv to your desktop and drag the rotated clip into your iMovie project. I have rotated several video clips in this fashion. I understand that you can rotate clips with Quicktime Pro, too, but I have never done it that way (because I don't have Quicktime Pro).

Rotate video footage

Hi,
Looking for some way to rotate video footage from my Nikon camera in iPhoto or iMovie.

Hi RDAsheville,
You can use Quicktime Pro to rotate the video.
Open the file in QuickTime Player Pro.
Choose Get Movie Properties from the Movie menu (or press Command-J).
Select Video Track from the left-hand popup menu.
Select Size from the right-hand popup menu.
Use one of the rotate buttons (the circular arrows) to rotate the clip.
Save the file, then import it back into iMovie or iPhoto.

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.

Blank, now garbled video in quicktime osx

I have a Samsung SC-MX20 camera, play perfectly in QuickTime Player 7.6 but the video is blank (black) in quicktime X, up until I upgraded to 10.6.4. Now the video is garbled. Funny thing is it plays fine on my (older) imac. Computer is a macbook (non firewire), late 2008 model.
Thoughts?
Rick

I'm having the same problem (no video when I open a MP4 or other video in QuickTime Player). However, I can view videos in iTunes. Candydrop's list is mostly my list too, but I don't have: AC3MovieImport.component or Perian.component.
I do have these that CandyDrop doesn't:
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
DivX Decoder.component
FLV.component
So to sum up, this is my list:
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
DivX Decoder.component
Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
FLV.component
Any ideas? This is a huge problem for me and I have to have it solved by the end of the day! Ack!

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.

How do I add this effect to a rotated video [pic]

I have a rotated video which now has black bars on either side which looks like so:
How do I make it so the black bars on the sides are the right & left sides of the actual video appearing blurred?
Like this:
I don’t want to have to zoom to fit. Thanks!

There are some advantages to using two different background images as shooternz pointed out.
Some footage would benefit by not scaling it up and just reversing it on each side, just for one example.
To do that you could put one clip on track one. Then flip it using the Horizontal Flip effect and blur it up. Take that and using the position parameters of the Motion effect, slide it over to the left so that it will just barely be slightly covered by the top clip in the middle.
On track two, flip another copy, blur it, and scoot it off to the right.
On track three, put on the original.
Having said that, now I feel compelled to actually do it. I just shot a picture of some flowers with my cell phone for this purpose. Note that one side has more blooms than the other. So in the image below, you just catch a hint of the larger blooms next to the larger blooms and the smaller next to the smaller, and you should be able to tell, if you look closely that they are reversed.
Now, of course, deciding if you want to do this depends entirely on the footage.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

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...

Record camcorder video using Quicktime.

Ok. so since I can't import it to imovie I tried to record a new video using quicktime. It would have worked except that quicktime would only recognize the sound input. Here is a video of the issue.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1Wxjx6OmQ
The camera I'm using is a Samsung SC-D453. Is there any way to make Quicktime recognize it?
My other question is. Since this camcorder has a composite-s video out, Can I get a s video to usb adapter that will let me record it to Quicktime? Once it is in .mov IMovie will import it quite nicely.
thanks

Ciao
you could launch the recording application, but it will not
within your FL app. Then you need to know the file name and
location since FL cannot browse the file system of the phone.
Also consider that this type of apps do not work for every
phone since some phones do not allow to execute other applications.
Here some tutorials that you can take a look at:
