Is it possible to change the rotation of a QuickTime movie file?

We have one file which the person taking the movie rotated the camera to a portrait view. Unfortunately the latter half of the movie is now rotated also.

Can it be edited in someway where I can change the rotation near the time the camera was rotated?

Many thanks,
Ken

Yes, you just need to find the right program. Widows movie maker might do it, IF it reads quicktime. iVideo or whatever it's called reads quicktime, so that *should* work. In any case, if you don't have something that does it you can just download a program.

Try download.com movie editing shareware/freeware. There's almost certainly some free program that will do it.

Kodak's easyshare software rotates .mov (quicktime) files, but not pieces only the whole file.

You can crop the beginning and end of video clips too though.

It's a free download too.

Thanks guys,

The Kodak software sounds good.

I have Win Movie Maker, so I will try and chop it up tonight, then rotate the last bit, and re-join them.

Sounds like a fun night in, with the old 384Mb Ram, .

A problem......

I converted the flv file on my laptop to an avi file, but couldn't open it in windows movie maker due to a codec problem.

Anybody know how to work round this, or free editing software which is not reliant on codecs?

Thnaks,
Ken
