LR4: rotate video

May 15, 2012 4:13 AM

Is there any way you can rotate video in LR4? If not, any tips?

 

(No need to tell me I shouldn't shoot video in vertical, the damage is already done and I have a small handfull of them *roll eyes* )

    No - use something like VirtualDub or similar.

    Doesn't Apple have one of the i-whatever tools for that?  i-video or i-movie or something?

    Premiere Elements is best cheapest bet. I think PS CS might via video editing. I know last few versions will.

    I've managed to rotate the video in PS CS6 but when I want to save it there are no video file options, only the usual image file options. The only way to rotate the file was to make it a smart object, not sure exactly what that is but could be an issue...?

     

    What to do?

    Kalles,

    Here are the steps, more or less. I also included a nice link to walk you through a few things. I seem to like to resolve things by helping quickly and also with an "under 5 minute" video approach to learn things. Cheers. - DP

     

    In PS CS6:

     

    1) File > Export > Render Video > Choose options

    Thanks Dusty, that worked. Well, sort of. The top and bottom gets cropped but that's better than having to rotate the screen

     

    I know I need to learn more about video formats (and PS) but I tried 3 different outputs, none with great result

    The original clip is .MOV (180mb)

    export as mpeg-4: bad quality and NO sound (on highest quality), small file (14Mb)

    export as .MOV: VERY jerky to the point it's un-watchable but good sound (could be a screen issue?) and HUGE file (5.6Gb)

    export as AVI: good quality but NO sound, very large file (2.8Gb)

     

    Not sure why there was no sound in mpeg-4 and AVI. The settings indicated that the sound should be there...
