Rotating video taken by digital cameras

[gbowlby@rideau.net]

Is there any way of rotating 30sec. video clips taken by a digital camera in a vertical position? I'm using Elements 4.0 and Premiere 2.0 and would like to turn these video clips horizontally.

You'd get a better chance at finding the answer if you would repost this in the Premiere Elements sub-forum.

If Premiere can't do it (which I doubt much), then there's Quicktime Pro. Let us know if you don't find an answer, I'll show how to proceed with Quicktime.

I didn't see your question reposted in the Premiere Elements sub-forum, so I'll go ahead and answer your question, here.

Import or capture the clip into PRE. Drag the clip into the timeline. Click on the clip you want to modify; then go to to the properties panel and click on Motion. Scroll down until you see the rotation controls. You can either click to rotate the clip 90 degrees to the left or right, or you can manually put in the degrees you want to rotate.

It's that simple! My step daughter took a video clip of my parrot barking like my dog. It was fine in the camera, since you could turn the camera to the correct position, but in order to watch it on the computer, you'd have to tilt your head. So, I was really excited when I found I could rotate it in PRE.
