rotate video 90 degrees |
|
|
Like most digital cameras, mine has a video mode which is useful for
short clips on vacations. I'd like to use the video function in
portrait mode, but of course that turns the resultant video on it's
side. What tools are there to rotate an mpeg 90 degrees?
Thanks much!

WHY would appear to be a much more important question
than HOW. Why would you even want to do that?
What does it buy you? How do you propose viewing it? |

As to why I'd want to record it that way, for the same reason one
takes stills in portrait mode -- a matter of composition. Oh, I could
take the video in landscape mode and crop the sides, but besides being
an extra processing step, one loses some resolution in a genre
(consumer digital still camera in video mode) that doesn't have very
much to start with.
As to viewing, I'm a heavy Gallery user, (http://gallery.menalto.com/)
which supports short video clips as well as stills. The audience is
mostly remote family.
If you're asking from an esthetic standpoint, there are some subjects
that require movement for full impact, but aren't long enough to
justify dragging out the camcorder and firing up Pinnacle.

Thanks to all responders. I used Virtualdub a bit several years ago,
back in the days when DVD recorders weren't affordable and vcds were
the way to go, but hadn't looked at it lately. There it is in
plug-ins.

Just a goofy story but...
Some years back one of the receptionists in my doctors office learned
that I did video for a living.
She asked me if I could "fix" her daughter's dance recital tape.
She brought out the VHS master - shot by her 15 year old son and sure
enough, in order to get her head to toe performance from the front row,
he'd videotaped the ENTIRE performance holding the camera rotated 90
degrees clockwise so the picture would be "taller."
I still wonder if her friends watch the fixed copy and ask what's up
with those big "black bars" on both sides of the picture! |

But you lose EXACTLY the same resolution when you
rotate the picture as you came here asking about. That is
the point I was trying to make.
The only reason to shoot video in "portrait" orientation is
if you have some special display venue (like a custom
museum exhibit, etc.) where you can rotate the viewing
screen (projector or monitors.) |
