Rotating a video

[vain]

Hi there...

I've got a video that I've taken from a camera @ HD720 How to rotate it to 180 degrees without losing a tiny bit of quality. This is for one of my projects. Plz do help.

Turn your monitor 180 degrees... Just kidding.

I don't think there is any way to do it by just changing something in the file header, so you will need a program that can decode it, rotate the video, then re-encode it. I think using Avisynth and/or Virtualdub would be the easiest.

Rotation is a primitive function that every video editor must have.

VD or AVIDemux must have Flip or Rotate plugin. In Vegas you can rotate entire frame or selected area by entering rotation degree value in Angle Roatation Box in preview window.

In AVISynth,
(1)
....Source(SourceClip)
TurnRight().TurnRight()
-or-
(2)
....Source(SourceClip)
TurnLeft().TurnLeft()
-or-
(3)
....Source(SourceClip)
LoadPlugin("Flips.dll")
Rotate180()

Rotation is relative term, if one can not rotate clip, can think of rotating viewers.
