I have a video clip that was taken with a digital camera, but they took it on a 90 degree angle of normal, like you take a picture, but I can't find a way to rotate the video frame like you can with a picture.  Is that possible??

Its fairly simple guys, i just worked it out:

1] Open the video in WIndows Live Movie Maker

2] Hit the Rotate Right icon

3] You can either upload direct to Youtube or Facebook  OR

4] Click SAVE MOVIE icon and click "For Computer"

The file saves as WMV format.

Good luck

  1. Open the video or project in Windows Live Movie Maker
  2. Go to the "Home" tab
  3. In the tool bar at the top look in the "Editing" group. There you will see Rotate Left and Rotate Right icons. Click on either of them until your video is the correct orientation.

4 Save. You're done!

I'm using Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 build 15.4.3538.0513. Download it for free here: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-movie-maker-get-started

Hello Ski Patrol,

Thank you for posting.   There is no way to rotate the video in Windows Media Player, but the Video can be edited in Windows Movie Maker.  Movie Maker has an option to rotate the video. 

Please let me know if this is a helpful option for you and I can guide you through the steps to do it in Movie Maker.

Hello devonnoved and 21Xochi,

To rotate frame in Movie Maker, on the menu bar select Tools> Effects. The effects are in aphabetical order. There is a Rotate 90, Rotate 180 and Rotate 270.

There are also a Mirror, Horizontal, Vertical to flip the image. Hope this helps you all. Make it a great day

    From Help - rotate is an effect.

    To add an effect

    On the storyboard/timeline, select the video clip, picture, or title to

    which you want to add the effect.

    Click Tools menu, and then click Effects.

    In the Contents pane, click the effect you want to add. You can click Play

    under the preview monitor to see a preview of what the effect looks like.

    Click Clip, and then click Add to Timeline or Add to Storyboard.

    Notes

    You can also add an effect by dragging the effect from the Contents pane and

    dropping it on a picture or video clip on the Video track of the timeline,

    to the effect cell of a video clip, or to a picture on the storyboard.

    The thumbnail view in the Contents pane displays examples of the different

    effects.

    If you upgraded your computer from Windows XP to Windows Vista, any

    additional transitions and effects that you had previously downloaded and

    installed will not be available in the current version of Windows Movie

    Maker.
