A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Now owning a digital camera that allows me to take moving shots with audio, I've got a small problem.

Normally with some images, I take the shot with the camera set at 90 degrees to get a portrait aspect, and when they are transferred onto the computer I can simply adapt them with the imaging software.

How would I do that with a video ? There is nothing I can see in the Movie Maker software that comes with Windows, and the VLC player can't adapt them either.

Any idea ?
 
Yes it was a problem to find something for myself about 4 or 5 years ago however when I started using Picassa I noticed that the functionality was there to rotate a video by 90 degrees, works a treat
 
Also _http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-Flip-and-Rotate.htm looks to be completely free.

Thanks, I've used Picassa before and wouldn't install it on any of my own equipment. Horrible it was

Will check out Rolf's idea.

Different horses for different courses, I think it is an excellent bit of software, however in your case I just realised .net V3 will probably not run on win98 O-Ha

Probably 95 Topper.;)
 
Thanks, the version I tried using at a clients place was on a Win Vista laptop, and Picassa over-rode everything thinking it was better, even the Kodac scanner/printer linkup.

Horrible

Yes well it serves the lazy bu99ers right if they allow the install config setup to use the default settings.........
 
Windows Movie Maker is just awful for anything more than just adding titles or simple transitions to videos, try VideoPad instead... :)

And a demo of VideoPad:

Can it rotate stuff 90 degrees though ?
 
I'm sure it can, I don't know much about it, but you could send Adam (the creator of that video above) a PM on youtube for a tutorial, he's good with doing stuff like that... :)

I know on other vids of his (on his Skavaen and Vlogginlife channels) he used a camera clipped to his sun visor in his car, and the camera was upside down and he just rotated it by 180 degrees, not sure which software suite he used as he's mentioned a lot of different ones in the past... :D
 
You can also use Virtual Dub to process video virtualdub.org although I seem to remember it being hard work.
