change vid clip from landscape to portrait

[harlequin6]

Hi,

I've just got back from the Big Chill Festival and have recorded a short video clip on my camera of The Genius Blues Man ' Seasick Steve '

However I recorded in portrait mode and I can only seem to view it sideways now on my laptop !

Any ideas how to change the aspect to landscape i.e turn the clip sideways ???

Cheers in advance ,

What format is the video in and what are you using to view it?

IF you can view it in Quicktime, then the upgrade to Quicktime Pro will allow you to rotate the picture for viewing the right way up!

Just taken this from Microsoft's Knowledge Base:

You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:

1. Import the video clip into Windows Movie Maker.

2. Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.

3. On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.

4. To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

-or-

To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

5. On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard

Hope this helps ya m8

Shep,

I ve got a pile of photo's which I'll put on a sort of blog thing I'm messin with . I 'll see if I can add the clip there. Its not very long as I used my camera and didn't want to fill the card.

I paid 120 quid to get into the festival with fuel and grub probably totalled 200 quid. It was worth every penny for the hour Seasicksteve was on. If I didn't have relatives coming this weekend I'd have gone up to Scotland to see hiim play there as well .

Looks like I will have to wait until the open house festival in Belfast

I'll sort the blog out tonight.

Cheers
