Why does iPhone 4 video flip?

I am having an issue with iPhone 4 video. I record myself using the rear camera in landscape mode (holding it sideways), and when I play it on my iPhone, on my Macbook Quicktime, in iMovie and in Final Cut Express, it's always right side up. When I export it out of iMovie or Upload it through iMovie to iTunes it is right side up, but when I export it out of Final Cut Express, it is upside down on my Mac, and after uploading it to YouTube. I went into the timeline in Final Cut and while in the program it looks upright, as soon as I export it it is upside down. I even went into the Timeline, went to the motion tab and flipped it 180 degrees so that in Final Cut it is upside down (the theory being that if it looked right side up the first time and export as upside down, making it upside down should make it render right side up) but it STILL exports upside down.
Does anyone have any idea why my iPhone 4 video is exporting out of Final Cut as upside down no matter what I do? Even when every other program shows it and exports it as right side up? I sure hope someone can help.
And just in case it matters, I recorded my video with the rear camera, while sideways, so that the camera is in the bottom left of the back of the phone that is facing me. Should I be holding it so the camera is at the top right of the back of the phone that is facing me? I wouldn't think that it would matter at all because of the accelerometer, but this is really annoying. I don't want to have to start editing in iMovie just so that my movies come out right side up. I hope I'm not the only person this is happening to! Thanks!

Lacking any other response, all I can suggest is that you try both ways.  Describe your rotation/camera lens position by where the Home button is when you view and record your movie.
Make one moive with the Home button on the right as you look into the viewer window.
Mke the second movie with the home button on the left.  Make this a different subject.
These movies don't have to be very long.  Just get enough so you have something to import into FC, then export.
It's far easier to start out right than to have to correct for errors.
If both turn out upside down, I have no answer.

  • Why does my front camera flip my picture when it is saved?

    Why does my front camera flip my picture when it is saved? I need a solution to this problem asap.

    What is your current iOS version. I believe iOS 5.1.1, released just a few days ago, addresses a camera issue. Even if it doesn't directly mention it in the update description, it may solve the problem. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm?

    Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm? which is quite unusual. For Exp, In case i lower down my ringer for some reason instead of silent and forget to increase before i sleep, my morning alarm also remains at the same ringer level volume at which i can miss the alarm. Is it due to some specific reason or i have missed something to change in settings. Other phone like Samsung etc, they have separate volume control for ringer and to an extent, Nokia rings for Alarm even if the battery is completely discharged.

    I have booked an appointment at my nearest Genius Bar which is 40 minutes away next week, so do I need a reciept or is the warranty checked from the serial number?
    No receipt needed.
    and is it covered under Apple's 12 month warranty?
    It very well may be covered, depending on what Apple finds.

  • Why does iPhone 5 shuts down in  2 C degrees? This should be inside operating temperature limits?

    Hello,
    Why does iPhone 5 shuts down with  +2 C (celsius) degrees outside? This should be inside operating temperature limits? I´m living in Estonia and I was using iPhone 5 approximately 1 hour with +2 C (celsius) outside. Suddenly it just powered itself off with 25% of remaining battery. I was not able to switch it on again before warming it up inside the house.
    I´ve been reading lots of similar complaints regarding other customers iPhone 5-s. Seems that the problem may be the aluminium back cover and thin, large-surfaced battery cause older iPhones are operating with same temperature just fine. Do you have any plan to fix this issue in the future?
    Best regards,

    You're not speaking to Apple, just your fellow users.  The specs say it's good down to 0°C... sounds like you have a hardware problem, likely battery.  Contact Apple, it's still under warranty.
    Hint: NEVER put your personal info in a public forum.  Edit your post to remove this info.  Also, I'll ask the moderators to do it if you can't.

    Why does iPhone 4 iTunes shuffle engage spontaneously.  I change the position of the shuffle and it turns itslef back on in the middle of songs.

    Probably because you have Shake to Shuffle enabled in the Music settings.

  • HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

    Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
    Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

    Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

  • Why does iPhone 5 cost 199$ in US but 649€ in Belgium ? That is almost x4 !?!

    Why does iPhone 5 cost 199$ in US but 649€ in Belgium ? That is almost x4 !?!

    The iPhone cost in the US is subsidized by the cell company. The cell company pays Apple the difference between the full price and $199 and then locks the buyer into a 2 or 3 year contract. Later this year Apple will start selling unlocked the iPhone5 and you will see the full price then.

    why does my iphone 4 bnot have a softwear updater under the general tab

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Why does iPhone (3gs) sound better than Macs via Bluetooth?

    Why does my iPhone (3gs) sound so much better via Bluetooth on my (Jawbone) Jambox than my new Mac Mini or 3 year old MacBook Pro?  Proxmity is about the same and doesn't seem to make a difference.
    sound from via Bluetooth sounds muted like in a cave or can, pretty darn good from the iPhone, ideas? (in a test I did with a Braven speaker via Bluetooth = same, in that case the Macs sounded even worse!)
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If I were you then I would have asked this question in the mac forums
    as people there have a much much higher chance of owning those macs then people in the iphone forum who could own windows computer or linux computer or no computer at all

  • Why does iphone not always pick up signal in new city?

    I just flew to Vegas, Phoenix and Atlanta. Each time, iphone did not acquire signal on landing for minutes (at least), but immediately picked it up when I powered down and powered back on. What is the technical reason for this, and why does turning the phone off and on help to re-establish connection? I realize this issue is not unique to iphones, but I've never understood why it happens.

    palmerimoots,
    Whether or not GSM signals from any cellular phone will cause a plan to crash is not the point. The point is the FAA requires devices that have not been certified by the FAA not radiate in any radio frequency. Airplane mode was designed to comply with those rules and regulations. I don't have confirmation, but comparing my battery life on a trip this last week to my mothers to back in late July the iPhone seemed to have better battery life in a No Service area. I personally suspect that after being in a No Service area for a while the iPhone will stop searching as frequently. When you power off the iPhone or put it in Airplane mode for a few minutes and then come out of Airplane mode the iPhone will search for signal.
    There is a limited waiver in place for WiFi for some airlines that are experimenting with offering WiFi, but that does not extend to the GSM frequencies.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
