Hi,

Hopefully some of you guys can help me with this. I'm trying to use PD 15 to laterally invert my camcorder footage. I know I've done it before in PD14 or perhaps an earlier version of PD and, if memory serves, it was a feature in PowerTools back then.

I'm not trying to play the video in reverse or spin/rotate it by various degrees. I simply want the image turned around so that what was originally on the left of the screen is now on the right and vice versa.

Also, didn't there used to be a way to invert (top changing places with bottom) as well? Anyone know how to do that?

I hope the above explanations haven't been overly definitive, but I'm just trying to avoid being told how to spin the footage or play it backwards LOL!!

I think you do want to flip.
This option is available in the PIP designer. You can flip left to right or upside down. In other words if somebody was looking left, when you flip they would look right.
I hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. I was, as we say in the UK, "flipping out" over this one but did find it as you say by double-clicking on the scene wneh in timeline view and the option to flip appeared.

The to flip or not to flip confusion is because some of the tutorials on Youtube etc use flip to mean rotate. But I hear you loud and clear and appreciate the help!

Thank you once again.
