video editing help

How do I rotate a video? I have a couple clips that are filmed with the camera sideways and I don’t want them like that in the video. I have windows movie maker and adobe premiere pro.

It should be under filters or something.

Yeah, I always wondered that too. . .

I am not quite Sure I perfer my mac when making movies alothough I have seen alot of cool movies made with Windows movie maker Sorry I can’t help

Windows MM: go to "effects, rotate 90/270

I used to use WMM but it stuffed up when i tried to d/load version2
From my memory you can add an effect or something that rotates the movie90,180 or 270 degrees.
just have a look in the special FX section

Adobe Premier Pro 1.5

If you still need to do this, import the clip(s) into Adobe Premier Pro, and create a sequence to add them to. In the Project window, with all of your project files, click the Effects tab on the top. Go to Video Effects, click on Transform. With the clip in the sequence, drag Camera View onto that clip. With the clip in the sequence highlighted, go to Window->Effect Controls. You should see under ‘Camera View’, an adjustment called Roll. Click the number and input either 90 or 270 or whatever you need. The only problem with this is that you get white space on either side of the clip. You can ‘fix’ this by zooming in on your rotated clip so that it fills the whole screen in the Monitor. You can adjust the other parameters to get it looking the way you want it.

Thank you sooo much for your help kyle that worked well. I was a little worried when you mentioned v 1.5 as i’m on v 7 but looks like it worked.

Thanks again.

No problem. I’ve been working on figuring out the program myself.

Alright the video is finaly almost done, but when I rotate the clips they rotate within their original box which chops the top and bottom, how do I got about fixing that?

I’m not aware of a way to fix that. If you’re far enough away, you can zoom in on the clip to make it fill the space (reducing quality by zooming), or leave it zoomed out with dark spaces on either side of it. There might be a way to do it, but I’m not sure.
