409512 2005-12-03 03:38:00 My better half takes videos on her Fuji camera,sometimes holding it sideways of course.Is it possible to reorient the clips,other than turning the screen sideways? Haven't seen any mention of this on the forums I've searched, but it must be somewhere. Neil McC (178)

409515 2005-12-03 04:54:00 I'm away from my editing PC at the moment but on this one windows moviemaker allows you to rotate the video under "video effects"
I know pinnacle and video studio both allow rotation, try searching the help menus
I'll have a look when I get home and post back if you havent got it sussed by then

Trouble with movie maker is when you do 90 deg flip it mucks up the aspect ratio.

Of course it will.
And that will happen with Neil McC's video as well.
There's no way out of that one
No editing program can compensate for that

409519 2005-12-03 20:04:00 Thanks everyone, will have a look for that in the help.The only problem is the aspect thing! And when you're used to turning the camera sideways to take stills, it just happens with video as well! Neil McC (178)

Not so.
If you rotate a windows moviemaker file 90 deg of say a wedding couple they will appear short and stumpy. Windows moviemaker cannot correct this.

I do not have a lot of experience with this but have used the below program to fix a friends wedding clip.

409521 2005-12-03 21:42:00 Sorry, I should have expanded further
No software will automatically fix the aspect problem
Basically, fixing rotation & aspect involves a 'software fix' which will result in a loss of quality compared to an original aspect clip it's a trade off I've never been happy with but I suppose it's better than nothing, I'm probably too fussy.
Depending on the quality and filesize of the clip rotating, trimming and resizing can get a watchable video
Premiere 1.5 & Pinnacle liquid make a reasonable job but still not as good as original footage

Vdub is a great app for a freebie and I use it often
