We got inquiry
from one of the blog readers on how to rotate videos 90 degrees, converting the
general view from horizontal to vertical.
While there are
multiple computer programs on how to reach the goal, in the post, we will
present an easy way of rotation with freeware VirtualDub. This is a
features-rich utility for video clips processing, and rotation constitutes just
one of the numerous capabilities.
Software Download
As the first step, you need to download VirtualDub, if it
is not installed on your computer, or you do not possess its portable version
in your software toolbox.
VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for
32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7), licensed under
the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a
general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast
linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for
processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video
filters.
·
Download or install the software.
·
Run the software as installed.
Using the Rotate filter
·
Save the video you need to process in the known
loadtion.
·
Load the file File – Open Video File.
·
Once the video is open, you need to apply the
"Rotate" filter.
·
To select the filter click on the video menu and
then filters (or Ctrl+F).
·
If the filter is missing, click on
"Add" > "Rotate" and click "OK".
·
The Rotate filter will provide you will all the
necessary options to rotate your videos: left or right 90 degrees or around 180
degrees.
·
Chose the right for you option and confirm.
·
The output video layout will appear on the
right.
Using the Rotate2 filter
If you need to rotate your video for any reason to the
angle other than 90 or 180, you may use the “filter 2” option, also appearing
on the list.
