HI Can I flip or rotate a clip. I used my digital camara to make a movie but
I put it on its side... I thought that I could always rotate it. Can I or how
can I? Plz help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

====================================
The following freebie will rotate .avis and .mpegs.

Virtualdub Ver: 1.5.10
http://www.virtualdub.org/

Open your clip in the program and go to...

Video / Filters / Add / Rotate / OK..choose
right or left...OK...OK...

Your new file size will be huge unless you use
compression so go to...

Video / Compression....you can try them all
to see what works best for you...Microsoft Video 1
works pretty well for me.

Now...go to...File / Save As AVI...
Choose a Save location / Give the file a name...
and left click the Save button.

Its easy to do within movie maker. Import your clip into collection and
then bring it into Storyboard/Timeline. Now go to Effects section and
locate Rotate 90 and Rotate 180.

However these rotate effects do not keep the aspect ration preserved
during rotation. To overcome this limitation I have made a few custom
effects that achieve the same thing but while keeping the aspect ratio
preserved.

To use my custom effects copy paste the xml code below into notepad and
save the file as rotate.xml in folder C:\Program Files\Movie Maker
\Shared\AddOnTFX. If the AddOnTFX folder does not exist at that
location, create it first. Afterwards restart WMM and go to the Effects
section to see the new effects: "Rotate Left Fit" and "Rotate Right
Fit" etc. and apply them to the clip.

<EffectDLL guid="{B4DC8DD9-2CC1-4081-9B2B-20D7030234EF}">

<Param name="RotateA" value="right" />

<Param name="InitialScaleA" value="0.75" />
<Param name="Progress" value="0.25" />

<Effect name="Rotate Left Fit" iconid="23" >
<Param name="InternalName" value="Simple3D" />
<Param name="RotateA" value="left" />
<Param name="ScaleA" value="0.75" />
<Param name="InitialScaleA" value="0.75" />
<Param name="Progress" value="0.25" />
</Effect>
</EffectDLL>

Hope it works for you.
 
Hi, I tried your suggestion and it did rotate the clip. Thank you!!! One
problem I found is that the sound has been garbled up - it is now ringing.
Is there a way to keep the sound?

Thanks,
k
