Video Orientation Question

I recorded a video using my iphone in one orientation (portrait style) but when I play it on my computer it plays sideways. Peoples heads point west and their feet point east. How can i get it to play normally on my computer? I now know that in the future I must always record lanscape style but I really want to use one of the videos I've already recorded. Is there any way to salvage it?

I venture to say your computer is a Windoze PC.
If so, which video viewing app are you using?
The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data, which the Windows video viewer ignores - at least with photos so I assume the same with video.

  • Video orientation exclusion

    Hallo. I use my iPhone 5s in portrtait lock. When it is time to watch a video in Facebook or safari I have to switch the orientation lock off. Is there a way to exclude QuickTime from the portrait lock and set it permanently to landscape?
    Thank you.

  • 5230 video orientation stuck (sideways)

    I just got this 5230 and I cannot get the video to re-orient straight up and down and not horizontally. Other times other apps get stuck in one position or the other. In other words, I am having some orientation issues! Anyone know how to make it more sensitive to my hand position (vertical or horizontal). Also I have a real problem seeing it outdoors... any solutions?

  • Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files on it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app? Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?

    Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files to it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app?
    Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?
    Thanks!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    Assuming a Managed Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I edit pictures (red eye) and camera-made videos (orientation)?

    How can I edit pictures (red eye) and camera-made videos (orientation)? The pictures are now in my documents, taken from another laptop. Apple has automatically orientated photos, but not the videos. I've looked at past messages on red eye, but cannot even highlight an area, as suggested in the answers. Need I put the pictures etc in another folder in order to edit?

    Use iphoto for the photos and iMovie for the video.

  • Using You Tube video clips question:

    After importing several clips from You Tube (of varying quality) to incorporate into an editing project, the clips look okay and play  full screen, in the "source" window, but when I put them in the timeline and play them in the "program" window, they are thumbnail size.  Why does this happen? I tried converting...but still no luck.

    The short answer here is, don't.  (Assuming that if it was yours in the first place, you'd have the original and not have to use the upload.)
    And Bill, you should know better than to help someone violate copyright law.
    yeah, i beg to differ on this. i have 100s of videos on youtube i did back when it first started before i saved my finished projects... (from 2005-2008 i would just record, edit, post, delete, because it was just random junk of me hanging out with friends, or just v-logging about stuff i needed to blow steam about) so one of these days i'll have to go through and download them and burn them for archives. Never say never

  • Bad video orientation

    Hi
    Got my iPhone 3gs a week ago.
    Today something went wrong with playing videos. The thing won't correct the video orientation when held vertically. Horizontally is fine. I can turn it upside down and it will correct the view. But vertically, no. It just stays horizontal.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    Umm I'm afraid I can't answer that. For some reason you can't access the iTunes store from Israel.

  • Question on Video orientation in Quicktime

    My wife's camera, a Kodak EasyShare C875, saves its movies as quicktime movies.
    90% of the time, this is fine.
    However, she has one where she put the camera on its side to take the video with a 'long' view top to bottom.
    All we want to do is change the orientation. Does QT pro do this? Can I download it? It just seems to want to 'ship' to me.
    Are there any other editors out there that can do this?
    I'm pretty frustrated.

    Yes, that video size will work on iPods (that support video, of course), I have several 320x240 video Podcasts on my iPod Classic and iPod Touch. More important is the rest of the specification for video.
    I'm not an expert on this, but typically the common problem seen on these forums is that a video Podcast will not transfer to an iPod because it's not in the correct format. There is a conversion facility (in iTunes) for videos, but my advice is don't rely on that, because users do not always succeed with the conversion, for various reasons.
    The size is okay, in fact you will see that 640 by 480 is mentioned. But it's all the additional encoding, frame rate, audio etc. I've clipped the following from the iPod Classic specifications:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    As I said, I don't fully understand these specifications, partly because I don't produce video Podcasts, but hopefully the specs above are familiar to you in the programme you use and that I have partly answered your question. Perhaps someone else may chip in with comments.
    Good luck.

  • External preview display via. Mini-DVI to video adapter QUESTION

    Hello, I have been browsing this forum for a while, and this is my first question.
    I have a Macbook Core2duo running Final Cut Pro. I purchased a Mini-DVI to S-video/composite video adapter.
    I cannot get my work to preview on this external monitor. I would like to view the canvas on the monitor while working. I had this setup at school on a G5, but I cannot get it to work on my macbook. The only way apple suggests doing this is by setting up a camera via. firewire and then run from the camera to the NTSC video display (television). I would just like to do it via. mini-dvi to my television for previewing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you,
    Morgan Bressler

    From what I've been told, using the computer's video output isn't outputting a true NTSC picture. I was told when talking about how the Macbook Pros dropped the S-vdieo port that I shouldn't use that anyways, but rather to go the firewire route. THat was actually converts the video source to true NTSC instead of taking a computer output to a TV. While I have no doubt that it works, I'm willing to bet that you'll see a noticeable difference between the G5 S-video and your MB using firewire. Most consumer camcorders from the past several years do digital (firewire) to analogue (NTSC) conversion, so you probably don't even need a new box.

  • DVI to Component Video - Compatibility Question

    Hello, everyone. I am in a pickle with my soon to be new Mac Mini, concerning the issue of hooking it up to a TV for use as a monitor.
    My problem is thus: The TV is a 26" LCD with only a maximum of a Component Video input (no VGA or HDMI), and the Mini has only DVI out. I have seen a cable and/or adapter on the internet that converts DVI to Component, but there is a warning that says the DVI port must support it, or the graphics card must support it. I am wondering if anyone knew if this would work with the Mac Mini. My only other alternative is to use the DVI to Video adapter with S-Video, which on the 1368x768 TV would be inferior. I would prefer component, but am unsure if it would even work because Apple's Tech Specs on the Mini lists only DVI to VGA conversion or the S-Video/Composite adapter, and does not specifically say if it supports Component.
    Any support would be GREATLY appreciated, as I have been up for three hours into the wee hours researching all the aspects of my problem, and am unable to figure it out. THANK YOU!
    Duncan
    EDIT: Here is a link to the adapter: http://sewelldirect.com/dvivideoadapter.asp
    And cable: http://sewelldirect.com/DVI-to-Component-Adapter-Cable-6ft.asp
    That way you can see what I mean about that cryptic warning. All I need to know is if the Mac Mini can support that sucker! Thanks again!

    Our local video "expert" is BSteely, and hopefully he will weigh in on your question.
    Some posts of his from the past, which may relate:

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5537321&#5537321
    The impression I get is that you might need a more expensive adapter to convert DVI to component.
    BTW can you give us the model number of your LCD TV? Thanks!
    AppleTV is probably better suited for a component-only TV, though the Mini can certainly do a good job when the TV does have digital or VGA inputs.

  • Apple Video Adapter question

    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=M9109G%2FA
    I know this product works on our network providing an information service via a cable connection to TVs throughout the building, from a 1.25Ghz eMac.
    My questions, however, are: Can I connect an 1.25GHz eMac directly to a single TV using a composite video cable or only via the s-video port. If a composite cable connection works what has to be done to tune the TV in to the eMac output?
    If S-video is the way to go... are there any recommendations/restrictions with regard to cable length?
    Hope I'm making sense (and that I have posted to the correct forum).
    Thanks in advance.

    If the TV has a S-Video connector, use it. It will give a sharper picture than composite video. If all you have is composite, use that. The TV should have an input selector to choose S-Video or composite. If the set has no video input you will need a RF modulator to convert the S-video or composite video to RF to feed into the TV's antenna input.

  • Video transfer question for older mac 10.5.8

    I am trying to figure out how to transfer video from my JVC GR-D770U video camera to my PowerPC G5 running 10.5.8. I have the proper firewire cable but have been unable to find answer for my question on the internet that is specific to my situation.

    ... I dont have iMovie and cant find a version that works with my older OS.
    The camera videos are on a Digital Video Cassette tape, not a card.
    Use iMovie with your Firewire (IEEE 1394) connected mini DV camcorder.
    iMovie 6 HD is part of iLife '06, works great with older miniDV camcorders,
    and is compatible with your Mac OS X 10.5.8.  You will need to install
    iMovie '06 before you can use the downloadable latest update from the link.
    If you cannot find it locally, this old version is available on-line, including Amazon.com.

  • Considering a refurbished 24" Imac ... video card question?

    I've been a lifelong Microhell Winblows user and am finally ready to move over to an Apple. I don't have a lot of money to drop on a Mac Pro with a separate screen so I've been thinking either a 20" or 24" iMac. Then, of course, bumping it to 4 gigs of RAM. My question is the video card. I occassionally play with Photoshop and Illustrator (for web site design). I watch DVDs and play some games.
    My question is whether it is possible (or even necessary) to upgrade the 256 MB video card to a 512 in the iMac 24" (or 20") model? This is the one I am looking at now: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nplm=FA 878LL/A
    Any idea's? Issues? Things I should be concerned with? I will be adding on the 3 year AppleCare plan.
    Thanks in advance for any all help you can give.

    OK. One more question (if you don't mind). They are not made to be user upgradeable. I'm ok with that. Do you know if the motherboard and/or system will accept a larger video card if I have it done by an Apple technician?
    Thanks again.

  • Receiving New iMac Free - Video Card Question

    Much to my relief, Apple is replacing my 2008 24" iMac after I have brought it in to them 3 times for the same issue in a month (failure to startup, they have replaced two video cards, one MLB, and the display but the problem repeats itself within 1-2 weeks). They are replacing it with a newer model that has a 27" display, twice the ram (4 GB) and twice the HD space (1 TB). My question is about the video card in the new iMac, it is a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB, and the card in my old iMac was a NVIDIA 8800 GS with 512 MB. My primary application for my iMac is gaming, which I believe makes the video card the most important component. Does anyone know the difference between 256 and 512 or anything about this new card? Should I ask them if I can pay to upgrade to the Radeon HD 4850 512 MB before I go in to pick up my new iMac?

    Hi Crazy,
    I had the exact same problem... my 18month old 24" iMac (with 512MB Video card) went belly up.
    I pointed out that what they wanted to offer me had only the 256Mb Card ? ....and he said; "oops I didn't notice that"... so we will send your new 27" iMac - with a 512MB (ATI 4850) at no charge,
    So... buddy you just need to tell them - and they will configure your replacement 27" to equal or better the minimum specification of your faulty unit.
