How to Flip/Reverse/Mirror Video Image with iMovie?

Hey everyone, I am trying to film videos of me playing piano, but when I play back the videos, my right hand is on the left side of the screen and vice versa...which is not what a video of someone playing piano should look like, haha...does anyone know how to correct this so I can film the videos just as a video camera would? Please help!

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2009 Model

"....so I can film the videos just as a video camera would?" I'm not sure how you were filming yourself previously.

I guess a quick and easy way to reverse the reverse image you are currently gathering would be to capture a reflected mirror image of yourself.

I'm trying to figure this out too. I don't know why it records backwards... when I hold things up with writing on them, it's backwards, and I want to know how to reverse it in iMovie. Otherwise... what good is this iSight thing?!

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction! I had to export it in another format because I was losing the sound ... so I exported it as a .mov ... this is exactly what I've been tryin to do! YAY!!!!
