I have shot a number of small movies on my iPhone that I want to edit into a single movie. Several of them are upside down and I want to rotate them. Is there a simple technique that will rotate the images permanently in the file system?

I tried to take a screen shot, but it would not capture my pouse pointer, so I will describe it to you. This does not change the movie that you have saved on your computer, but it does change it in PD and that can be produce to a new video.

When you click on the clip in the time line there will be a blue circle in the center of the preview windows. Position your mouse over that and it will turn to a chasing arrows type pointer. click the mouse button and drag it around 180°.

You can continue to work on the movie, or produce that clip as is. __________________________________

Hi rhj4

Welcome to the forum

I think what Jaime was explaining was in the Preview window 'grab' the outer edge of the blue circle (two white curved arrows appear) and rotate

Another way is to double click on the clip in the timeline to open PIP designer and Flip the clip

Please note either way you do it you MUST first PRODUCE the clips either all 'stuck' together in the timeline or separately to the PROFILE as close to the original clips as possible to maintain quality.

Happy editing
