There's a $3 shareware plug-in that rotates movies

And these might be handy

Rotating clip in iMovie 3?

I have a video that I shot on a mobile that I would really like to upload onto the internet for my friends to see.
Unfortunately, halfway through the video was accidently flipped upside down by a setting on my phone. I was wondering if I could split the video in two parts in iMovie and flip the last part 180 degrees so that the video plays normally. I have found plug-ins that would allow you to do this but require a later version of iMovie I don't have.
I'm currently running iMovie 3.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.2.8. Does anyone know a way of flipping my video and fixing the problem with my specific specs?

Rotating clips?

Is there a way to rotate clips in iMovie that I imported from my video recorder? I am having difficulty doing so. If there is not a way, can it be done in other programs such as final cut express hd?

How do I rotate a video clip in iMovie when I am unable to click on the Cropping Button in the Adjust menu?

Can you help me rotate my video clip in iMovie ? I followed the instructions in the Help menu, but was stuck on Step 3 - after I had selected the entire Clip and then was unable to click on the "Cropping Button".

Are you in the timeline? You can't access the crop button if the clip is in the browser.

How to rotate a clip in imovie

How do I rotate a clip in iMovie? I have gone to 'Adjust' then 'crop' then clicked on the rotate button but nothing happened.

Happy to help.
Basically in iMovie 10 (unlike earlier versions) you cannot do any sort of editing on clips in events (you can't even delete parts you don't want, only the whole clip). So events are just repositeries for 'raw' clips.

IMovie-how do I rotate clips of photos imported from iPhoto (verions of iMovie is 5.0.2)

I imported photos from iPhoto to iMovie. The photos had the correct orientation (rotation) in iPhoto but in iMovie they have all gone back to their original sideways position. Is there a way to rotate the clips in iMovie, version 5.0.2? I've spent hours on this so really don't want to start over.... please help!!

If you don't get an answer here, you may want to post the question in the iMovie discussion here.

Portrait to landscape clips for Imovie

Hello!
So I went to a community in a far away province to shoot a documentary, having a lot of confidence that my Iphone 5 can capture all the scenes pretty well. Then when I went home, I transferred all the clips to Imovie and everything was in portrait. All the clips are basically a mess, it is positioned only in the center with big black holes at the sides. I did not know that you need to use the video horizontally, I mean Iphones are originally meant to be used in a portrait manner. Is there any way I can switch the portrait clips into landscape? I tried the rotate-crop thing in Imovie, but it requires cropping a big part of the clip. I really need to finish this project soon and this is a very frustrating flaw for Iphones if there is no way to at least make this work.
Any help will be great appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi
NO
or put in a milder way. What's not there is not there - and can not be Magically repaired.
So if Rotate and Crop doesn't work - then only Make-up will make it slightly more attractive.
I mean by Make-up - to make the black pillars or borders nicer as if You use a nice photo of the sky or sea or leafs in a tree as sort of background and then put the rotated picture ontop of this - but now just mildly cropped - it might look better.

Import of quicktime clip into iMovie is distorted

I recorded video with my camera rotated 90 degrees. Obviously, when I upload the video clip it came up rotated 90 degrees. I am able to rotate it in Quicktime pro by 90 degrees so that the orientation is correct. When I import it into iMovie 6 HD, the clip is distorted - The subject looks squashed. I can't find a way to import the clip into iMovie with the correct sizing of the image.
Thanks for your suggestions.

The problem is video is 4:3 aspect ratio. When you rotate it 90 degrees, you are making it 3:4 aspect ratio. Then when you import it into iMovie, it stretches it back to 4:3 because that is what its expecting.
You need a way to crop the rotated video back to 4:3 before importing into iMovie (or pad with black back to 4:3 if you don't want to lose anything).
I'm not sure how to do it in iMovie. I know Final Cut Pro can do it.

Is there a way to speed up video clips in imovie on ipad

Preview disabled, importing clips from imovie

I just got a Canon Optura 60 video camera.
I'm in a hurry to get the clips into final cut and the log and capture procedure is time consuming and confusing.
plus my preview is disabled in the log and capture window and I just read a long thread about this problem.
it seems to conclude that the solution is to deinstall quicktime 7 reinstall quicktime 6, which I can't do with 10.4.
I already figured out how to easily get the clips out of the camera and into iMovie, but I want to edit in Final Cut. I have a LaCie 250gig hard drive for media storage.
Is there an easy way to import the clips from iMovie to final cut pro HD 4.5? thanks

so far, by logging in the clip I even got preview to work, and the final cut is moving the clip around in the camera. but I still haven't managed to actually capture the clip. when I try capture now, it justs waits for time code.
when I log in the clip and click on capture clip, the clip appears in the preview window, and then I get an error message: "unable to locate a specified timecode. you may have specified a time code with insufficient room for a pre/post roll operation"
so how do I enter the time code?
or could it be that I did not enter time and date on video camera?
If anyone knows of a step by step book for idiots that says 1, plug in firewire, 2 go to log and capture, and so on, I would happily buy it.
thanks ever so much

Importing clips from iMovie HD does not preserve capture date

Hi,
I am importing iMovie HD projects into iMovie 09.
The clips in iMovie HD (originally imported from DV) have the correct capture date/time on them.
However, when I import these clips into iMovie 09, it does not preserve these dates for the events but instead chooses to use the "file create date/time" as the event date time.
Is this info lost forever in iMovie 09 or is there some setting that can use the original clip capture date info as the event date/time?
Thanks.
