| 173310 | 2003-09-06 03:24:00 | I recently purchased a digital (still) camera. The camera has the ability to take .MOV film. Unfortunately the camera instructions didn't mention the fact that you should not rotate the camera 90 degrees when taking movies. As a result, when the film is downloaded onto the computer the movie is viewed 90 degrees out of whack. (And no, I'm not going to rotate the monitor back 90 degrees). Question: Can I rotate the film image back 90 degrees - so that it can be viewed normally? If so, what software do I require to carry out this operation? I have Adobe Premier 5, and MS Movie Maker installed on my computer. Thanking you in advance. |

| 173311 | 2003-09-06 23:26:00 | I have seen this question before. Quite sure there is no software to fix this. Even if there was it would leave you with a picture of reduced size or a cropped picture. | gerrypics (323) | ||
| 173312 | 2003-09-07 18:47:00 | Would it make a difference if I changed the format to .mpeg or .avi? I could load the .mov movie into a program - such as Adobe Premiere - and save it as .avi, for instance. Or am I still left with the same problem? |

| 173313 | 2003-09-07 21:45:00 | No, changing the format will not do it. I think you will have to put this one down to experience. I would not say it could not be done but as far as I know there has not been a program made to do this. On the other hand anything can be done if the value of the film justifies it. | gerrypics (323) | ||
| 173314 | 2003-09-07 22:26:00 | if you don't care too much about losing a bit of quality... you could play the .mov file on the comp and record it again sideways with the cam, so that it'll be recorded the right way up.....! | Trev O (452) | ||
| 173315 | 2003-09-07 22:28:00 | You could try this (30 day trial) Pivot Pro, It just rotates the view on your screen. Might no be very practical in the long term but might help. I have never used it myself. www.newfreeware.com | gerrypics (323) | ||
| 173316 | 2003-09-09 00:49:00 | I think the probelm lies in the fact that it would take any normal computer at least a day to rotate a 30 sec video at 16 frames/sec. simply because it would need to do a complex trig function on each frame. |

| 173317 | 2003-09-09 04:10:00 | It wouldn't be so bad if it was only "every frame". The problem is that it's every pixel of every frame. Weta have a big farm of computers in Wellington which could handle it. :D Invite people for a Roman orgy film viewing. Everyone has to recline (elegantly) while viewing the sideways image. Slave girls bringing around the oysters, grapes and wine might be a nice added touch. |

| 173318 | 2005-10-05 12:36:00 | Hi, Full version of Quicktime (Quicktime Pro) allows you to rotate video. All it comes down to if you want to invest the money for the full version. I had the same problem with my Kodak 6490, family borrowed the camera and they didnt realise the orientation sensor doesnt apply for video too. Good luck |
