How do I rotate a video?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Editing video in Aperture is pretty much limited to trimming the clip. You can make jpgs from the individual frames and set the poster frame but thats about it. Adjustments are disabled when you have a video (or audio) clip up.
Anything more complicated will need to be done external to Aperture.
Try iMovie
MPEG StreamClip is good for converting all kinds of clips in all kinds of ways.
Aperture IS a photo management application.
Alternative, Try Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro CS5.5 (along with After Effects CS5.5).
I know that you can rotate a video clip using iMovie09 as I was doing it last night on a video I was working on. If I recall correctly:
- select clip you want to rotate in events
- click crop or press c
- then use the circle with an arrow.
The video rotates.
I was just looking at this forum as I was wondering if Quicktime 7 can rotate videos on the fly without having to drag them into iMovie?
I use QT7 since QTX is stripped down from options like this. Do a Cmd-J, select the video track and click on the Visual Settings tab. That tab is available for .mp4 video's, not for .mov video's it seems (at least at my end, YMMV). QT7 is still for sale in the Apple Store $29.99

Ive searched for apps but Im afraid to spend my money on any of them. Judging by the ratings none of them are good and looking at the post it seems the developers of those apps rate them to make them look better. But you have to look at those ratings you can tell the fake from the real and soo far none of them are good. guess I'll have to check PC products.
If you only need to rotate in increments of 90°, then Apple's standard QuickTime Player should suffice. Set "QuickTime Player" as External Movie Editor in the Aperture Preferences and select the movie you want to rotate.
Ctrl-click and select "Edit with QuickTime Player.app".
In QuickTime select: Edit > Rotate
and save your video to a file. Reimport to Aperture.

I have the same question and your suggestion would be brilliant if I could see "rotate" under the Edit menu in QuickTimePlayer but I don't, although my Apple software is up to date - for Snow Leopard, as I cannot update my somewhat early 2006 iMac to Lion. iMovie using the free plugin Turn Clip rotates but destroys the audio. I am about to buy the Pro Version of QuickTime Player 7 and hope that works!

For me it works, but no guarantees!
Hi,
Yes the Pro version works - but I was amazed that although I can open QT7 as the exernal editor in Aperture I still have to export from QT and move the movie about to get it back to where it belongs in my project - completely non-intuitive!

I purchased Quicktime Pro to try and solve rotate videos taken with my wife's Iphone-4 but when going to Show Movie Properties - Visual Settings - hit Rotate button, the viewer rotates from portrait to landscape but the video does not rotate. Any suggestions?
Hmm, perhaps the file is locked, or read-only. Do a Cmd-I in the Finder. Or is it stored on a CD? Copy it to your Mac first. Or is the file still on a SD card? The card could have the physical lock switch in the unwanted position. Other than that, I don't know...
Phil, I am using Windows 7 and so don't know what Cmd-I control is. I did check the file properties and cannot see that it it locked. We have already imported to the computer hard drive.
On the Iphone capture device, how might the card be physically locked?
