Can I rotate video clips in iphoto?

Hi;
I just finished taking a combination of photos and video clips for an event. I downloaded them into iPhoto. I noticed when watching the slideshow of the event that some of the videos need to be rotated (I guess I took them in "portrait" not regular "landscape"). Also - I have one video clip where I must have rotated the camera mid-way through and need to rotate only the part of that video where it was "portrait".
Any ideas on how to do this in iPhoto? Must I do this in iMovie instead?

If you have Quicktime Pro 7 and Quicktime Player 7 you can rotate the movie. Like Larry I'm not familiar enough with iMovie to know if it can do that.
There may be 3rd party apps that can do it. Go to MacUpDate.com and search for "rotate movie" or other permutations to see what you find.

Is it possible to rotate video from the iPhone 4 90 degrees?

I'm a newbie and unfortunately shot a bunch of HD video with my iPhone 4 in a vertical format - now on playback it's rotated 90 degrees to the right. Is there any way to rotate the video 90 degrees to the left so it appears correctly on playback? I don't mind if it gets cropped, I just want to be able to see it correctly. Thanks!

i believe you can use Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7 to do this. google will be your best bet on finding instructions, though.

Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees. It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos. Help!!!

Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this. I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

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.

lists various apps and plug-ins. Some are stand alone some work inside iMovie. You might find something there

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.

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...

Rotate -90 degrees to play in a vertical monitor...

Hi all!
Is it possible to Rotate -90 degrees image to play in a vertical monitor...
I have all the sequence edited with Motion / FCP / PSPs... now the client needs a dvd to play in a vertical monitor.
Is it possible to rotate in DVDsp (at the burn time)?
A couple of guys told me that Nero could do it... ok... Nero = Windows... so... nahhh...
Do you have a tip?
(ok i could rotate in FCP, but what about the background...)
Help!
Thank you!
HBars

Even if Nero could do this, you really would not want to. Your dimensions are going to be all wrong. You would have to scale up your video (making everything soft and fuzzy) and then hope that nothing happens on the left or right of the video (which are now cropped off).
If you want a vertical video (that doesn't look like crap) you will have to shoot it that way from the start. At my company, the cameraman went home to weld together an L shaped bracket so that he could attach the camera at a 90º angle on the tripod. The alternative is to shoot handheld with the camera tipped on its side.
You then have to edit everything on its side. Take your broadcast monitor and put it on its side. For your computer monitor you will have to just turn your head to the side.

When I drag an image into IBA, it rotates 90 degrees.

I'm having trouble dragging a particular image into iBooks Author. I took a picture and imported from my camera to iPhoto. The image had to be rotated 90 degrees, which I did in iPhoto. I'm using the "Contemporary" template in iBooks Author and I'm trying to drag my image from iPhoto to replace the red, space themed image at the top of a section page. When I do so, the image reverts to its original instead of the rotated form. I can't figure out how to rotate the image without rotating the mask.

Hello Abram1,
Not sure of the reasons but I would imaging it might have to do with iPhoto and its non destruction approach to editing.
Have you tried exporting the image out as a new image that would then have the new rotation that you wish applied to it.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Nigel

Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

How do I rotate multiple photos in iPhoto '11?

Previously I could use the 'command' key to highlight several photos and then press 'rotate' and they would rotate 90 degrees. Now, with iPhoto '11 that ability seems to have been eliminated. There must be a way to do this?

I had the same question today - just started using iPhoto. In addition to the answer from Terence, if you need to rotate your photos in the opposite direction, select Option-Command-R. I've found this link http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/shortcuts/ invaluable since I'm an old time PC user and new to Mac.

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.

Rotate Video

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has managed to rotate the video
player by 90 degrees on a handset? I need to rotate a video from
protrait view to fullscreen landscape view.
It seems when you rotate the video object by 90 degrees on
stage, the video player stays the same. Looks like we need a way to
phisically rotate the Real Player by 90 degrees, (using an external
script, like when 'landscape' mode is turned on on the handset.)
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Hi Insomniak ,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I can rotate the Video Object
on stage fine. The problem I have is that the Real Player that
phisically plays the video does not rotate. So when I rotate the
Video Object, the actual video just plays the same way around.
Try a test to see what I mean.
There is some C++ code to rotate video on a handset, but
without any C++ experience I have no idea how to get this to work.
Anyone here with C++ experience who can recommend a solution?
Cheers

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.
