Can you rotate video 90 degrees in MC?
« on: July 07, 2011, 07:52:48 pm »

Hello,

I have a couple of videos (3gpp format) taken with a mobile phone which play sideways on my computer (MC and other programs) - the phone recorded them in this orientation. Can MC correct this with a 90 degree rotation?

Thanks!

I have the same thing.  It'd be neat if the rotation field could be honored at playback time.

I had to do this a couple of times, I had some script (found on google somewhere) which broke the video into jpeg images (1 per frame) and a soundtrack, rotated the jpegs, and remuxed it.

MPEG Streamclip can do it quite easily and handles MP4 videos fine (3GP videos are dumbed-down MP4s so I imagine they'd work).  Open the file, Edit -> Rotate Video -> Rotate CW/CCW.  Done.  Then just save it out to a MP4.

I think I tried that first but it didn't actually rotate the images however I could be mis-remembering ;)

I think so.

I use it all the time.  You have to export the video out when you're done.  If you just "save" it saves it as a reference MOV file, which isn't rendered.

Thanks, the save is probably what I did. I'll try export next time.
I haven't had much chance to use it since I got into the habit of not shooting vertical videos ;)
It was kind of hard since I shoot a lot of vertical pix..

It's a shame this thing needs quicktime.  Would still love to see this feature in MC!

Found a better solution to this problem on another thread: change your playback engine.
