I understand that I can flip a video by putting it in a project and then applying an effect, or just flip it in the inspector. But how do I flip the original clip from the event? I don't want to have to do this every time I put it in a new project? Thanks.
Right-click, select open in timeline, and use the inspector to flip the clip.
Thanks, but I have a problem. The video is shot using the iPhone. For some reason its recorded at 90 degree rotated. But then using your method, I rotated the video but it seems the frame doesn't change. So I can a vertical frame but a horizontal video (black bars at top and bottom). How do I fix this?
FCP does not support non-standard frame ratios like vertical video. There is a complex workaround that allows you to do this
How do I flip a video permanently?
