Rotate Video

I shot video on my ipod and as it turns out, it was shot upside down. How can I rotate the video? Neither Quicktime, iPhoto or iMovie offer the feature. Does Quicktime Pro?

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

How can I rotate video using iMovie or Aperture?

Use the "Crop, Ken Burns & Rotate" window in iMovie '08/'09 to rotate your content.

But is there a way to rotate video without using Quicktime Pro?

You could also use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free). However, like iMovie it requires that the clip be re-compressed for the effect to take effect. This may not be a problem if you are performing other forms of edits anyway or are planning to convert the file to another compression format in the end. The advantage of using QT Pro to change the property is that you don't need to re-compress the content if you don't need/want to do so.

Could you provide a little more detail?

If I assume you are using iMovie '08/'09, then
1) Select the clip or clip segment to be rotated in the "Edit" window
2) Select the "Cropping, Ken Burs & Rotation" Window menu option (or press "C") to open the clip/clip segment in the preview window
3) Press either of the rotation (left or right arrow in upper center of screen) buttons twice to rotate the selected content 180*

Perform other editing as needed.
