  2. Most video editors can do this, but you can do it on the iPhone, as well.

    If you do a search for rotate you will find threads like this … https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/417092-Change-rotate-video-metadata

    I have used Exiftool successfully.

  5. There are free video editors available that can rotate the video. Windows 11 has a built-n one called ClipChamp. I have not used it and there are others on the software tab of the VideoHelp site. IE: OpenShot and VideoPad

    Try AVIDemux; my rotating guide is here.

    Note: It might not work.

    If the videocodec is h264 or hevc, you can change the rotation flag without reencoding (no quality loss, fast) with clever FFmpeg-GUI.
    Load your mov, click lossless changes, check rotate clockwise, set the degrees and click rotate.
    Done.

  9. Try Microsoft Clipchamp. It may already be installed on your Windows 11 PC. If not, go to the Microsoft Store to get the app. It's free to download and rotate the MOV file using Clipchamp. Here’s the quick guide:
    1. Open Clipchamp, click Create a new video to enter the main interface.
    2. Click Import media to add your MOV file and drag it to the timeline.
    3. On the floating toolbar, click the three-dot icon, and click Rotate by 90°.
    4. Click Export to save the video (an MP4 file).
