Can you rotate a video

[pappy646]

I took a .avi video portrait and it is sideways on the computer is there a way to correct it like a picture. Is there any way to do it?

"I took a .avi video portrait"

Your statement is unclear - Is this a video (an .AVI file) or a static single graphic imagethat you grabbed from an .AVI video (If so, what format is it in?)?

you could use the flip parameters in avisynth:

FlipHorizontal(clip clip)

FlipVertical(clip clip)

FlipVertical flips the video upside-down. It is useful for dealing with some video codecs which output everything upside down. Likewise FlipHorizontal (which is present in AviSynth v2.5) flips the video from left to right.

Thanks for the info UncasMS, I downloaded both 2.5 and 2.8 and have no idea what to do. I have even tried with AVSEdit and I am just plain lost.

you will have to create a small script (details here: http://avisynth.org/index.php?page=YourFirstScript) with the flip command and afterwards you will load this script (the avs file) into for example virtualdubmod

in vdmod you can then choose a videocompressor like xvid/divx, make your settings and save the file to a new name (file => save as)

+++++++++++++

on the other hand avisynthscript might be the harder way for a beginner

easier is this:

- load your file into vdmod
- video => filters => add => flip ....

- next choose the video compressor of your choice (video must be set to FULL processing mode)

- file => save as

If it's an .AVI video (NOT a still image), simply use either VirtualDub or VirtualDubMOD and either their built-in "Rotate" or "Rotate2" filters...
