How to rotate a video clip 90 degrees?

you can use a free plug-in called "turn clip", found here:

Trann,

You can use QuickTime Pro to rotate clips.

If you don't have QuickTime Pro, CF/X has a free plugin called Turn Clip.

I believe it works with iMovie HD 6. Make sure you have the 6.0.1 updated.

The cf/x turn clip iMovie plug-in has some limitations: It doesn't properly work with interlaced input because also the interlacing lines are simply rotated and this doesn't look good on a TV! So you should use it only for progressive material or deinterlace the input. It can't rotate the material without cropping and it doesn't preserve the correct aspect ratio when rotating rectangular pixels).

If that disturbs you and you are willing to do it the hard way, see:

I went to this link and couldn't make any of the options work. I can not find the "Rotation" options in MPEG Streamclip. Any advice on where I would find that as I am going crazy trying fix these clips that I filmed the wrong way. Thanks for you help!

choose "export to Quicktime" (Apple-E)

then you're confronted with this dialog,
without red arrows..



the drop-down offers some rotation presets ...

Opps!!! There is a new version of MPEG Streamclip. I upgraded and found it really easy! It works great!
