Video rotation
Rotate a sideways or upside-down video to an orientation that is easier to watch. Adjust it by rotating 90 degrees left or right or entering a numerical angle, check the rotated dimensions and padding background color, then save it without cutting off the content.
What you can do
Rotate in 90-degree steps or specify an angle
Adjust orientation by rotating left or right in 90-degree steps, or entering a value from 0 to 360 degrees.
Save at dimensions that do not crop the video
Check the width and height after rotation. For rotation at an oblique angle, you can specify the background color of the padding.
How to use
Select a video
Select the video whose orientation you want to correct.
Adjust orientation and angle
Rotate left or right by 90 degrees or enter an angle, then check the preview and output dimensions. Change the padding background color if needed.
Save the rotated video
Play the video to check that it has the desired orientation, then create and save the video.
Useful when
Correct a video recorded sideways
Rotate footage recorded in an unintended orientation into a direction that is easier to view.
Rotate upside-down footage
Rotate an upside-down video by 180 degrees to align it with the desired orientation.
Rotation angle, output dimensions, and padding
90-degree rotation and angle input use the same setting
Each rotation using the left or right button also changes the angle. To make fine adjustments to the tilt, enter the angle directly.
Rotating changes the output dimensions
At 90 or 270 degrees, width and height are swapped. At oblique angles, padding is added to fit the video without cropping it.
This differs from correcting a mirror image
Rotation turns the orientation of the frame. If left and right are reversed like a mirror image, use Flip Video.
Frequently asked questions
Can I specify an angle instead of rotating in 90-degree steps?
Yes. You can enter a value from 0 to 360 degrees. Check the tilt in the preview.
Do I also use rotation to correct a mirror image?
For a mirror image, flip horizontally using “Flip Video.” Use rotation when the video is sideways or upside down.
