I have a Canon PowerShot SD850 IS and shot video vertically instead of
horizontally. Is there anyway to rotate the image so you don't have
to tilt your head to view it?
=============================
Scroll down for info:
Open Movie Maker...import the video
clip and drag it to the timeline.
In Movie Maker...go to "Effects" and
scroll down to "Rotate"...drag/drop the
required effect on the clip that needs
to be rotated.
Or...right click the clip that needs to be
rotated...choose...Video Effects / Scroll
down and select the required effect /
left click the Add button / OK.
Now save the rotated file:
To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:

If the saved file loses it's aspect ratio...
