How Do I rotate a video in media player like i rotate a picture

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

Open the video or project in Windows Live Movie Maker
Go to the "Home" tab
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

I tried that but it didnot work. it keeps cutting off on me

=============================================

Two freeware apps that can rotate a video clip:
1. Freemake Video Converter can rotate a video clip
then you can save the clip in the same format or convert

it to a different format.:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System

Restore point before installing software or updates)

Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)

http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/

(Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8)

(***Choose the Custom installation and carefully

read *all* the install screens...there may be some

items you want to uncheck***)

If a green Install button appears when you launch

Freemake...you can ignore it and it should disappear

when you import files.

How to use Free Video Flip and Rotate

(XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8 and .Net Framework 2 SP2)

(*You may want to uncheck the options to install the

DVDVideoSoft Toolbar and the iTunes Plug-in*)

When you left click the download text you will be

redirected to another screen...ignore all the download

buttons and wait a few seconds for the download

dialog to appear..

Good luck...
