Rotating Video files

[HoldThatTigerRag]

Hello,

I took some small video clips on my digital camera. When taking snapshots with the camera turned on its side, it would snap the picture upright. I thought it would do the same with the video clips, but they are sideways. What is the best way to go about doing this(freeware). The files are .MOV

Thanks

Take your pick:

1. Use QuickTime to convert to uncompressed AVI, then use VirtualDub "Rotate" filter.

2. Open with TMPGEnc (w/ QTReader.vfp), then save project. Open the project file with VFAPI convert, and save pseudo-AVI. Open in VirtualDub and use "Rotate" filter.

3. Frameserve with AVISynth using QTReader.vfp and rotate with script, then open with compatible encoder.

4. Etc., etc., etc.

There's gotta be a thousand ways of doin' this!

Well i thought it worked fine, but it seems that I have lost the audio...

just use quicktime pro
go to graphic>size adjust..doesn't re render like virtual dub
look at result with apples ad below

That sounds handy, where exactly can i find that function? What menu is that under?

[dcsos]

go to graphic>size adjust
its under movie properties or get movie info in 6 or higher

Thanks!

to preserve the change...save as self contained movie but you must make a new filename

Windows movie maker is a very easy way to rotate a video file. I tried virtual dub at first, gave up and was impressed with the movie maker method of dragging the template onto the story board frame.
