Easy Ways To Rotate And Flip Your Videos - Week 5

Have you ever taken a video with your phone that you thought was taken correctly, only to find later it was rotated upside down or in some other direction? Luckily there are different options to help rotate and flip your video.

Using your iPhone or iPad

Video Rotate & Flip app for iOS

• This FREE app is easy to use and can be installed on your iPhone or iPad. 
• After you rotate or flip your video, the app will not leave a watermark on your newly saved video. 
• Another bonus is that there is no time limit. Your video can be short or long in length of time. 
• Your video will export as MPEG-4 (default) or QuickTime 

Select the video from your photo library, you'll have an option to crop (if needed). On the bottom, you will see icons to Rotate: counterclockwise or clockwise & Flip: vertically & horizontally.

Once your video has been rotated and flipped, click Export on the top-right corner. You can then select "Save Video" and your new video will be saved back into your iPhone or iPad Photo Library. You could also select to save it into your Google Drive.

Using Your Desktop, Laptop, or Chromebook

To help prevent your videos from being rotated in the wrong direction, notice where your timer is when taking video. If you're taking a video and the timer is on the bottom of your screen, your video will be upside down. The timer should be located on the top of your screen.
