Video rotation issue with perspective.

[cawright1]

Hi guys, hope someone can help.

I donwloaded a video from youtube and as you can see from the image, it was in need of rotation by 45 degrees.

I managed to rotate the vid using Blaze Media Pro, BUT ..... the perspective is now wrong. Basically, the performer has gone 'wider', . Any ideas on how I can keep the perspective whilst rotating the video?



Original image from video, prior to rotating.

Don't you mean 90 degrees?

You can do the correct rotation (from what I see, it will be 90 degrees clockwise), then resize the height to your TV standard, then add black bars on the sides to keep the proper aspect ratio.

Unless you really DO mean 45 degrees, then you have a LOT more work.

o, yes. Its a 90 degree rotation, but theres no options to do the height or black bars in Blaze media. Any ideas?

does it make any difference that the video stretches with the size of the player window? ie, when I play the vid in Windows media player, I am able to stretch the player to get the corrrect size, BUT, how can I translate this to a burnable to VCD size?

You need to resize the image to 208 x 240 inside your 352 x 240 VCD frame. You should probably do this in a better tool than Blade if it will only do it by distorting the image.
