Rotate video? Does anyone know if this software can rotate video?

Check out the review left on November 2, 2008 by Chawks. They list that as one of the things it can do. I was wondering the same thing. I did that with my daughters camera and how silly I felt to shoot it sideways trying to get it closer. I had been shooting stills with it all day and it all happened so fast I did not think before I shot it trying not to miss a kid on stilts. So, I am going to try this one and hope it does that.

You can mount it as you would any typical tripod mounted camera. As for the software, I am using it with a movie editing program and it can correct for the different angles. I don't know that the camera comes with any sort of software that can correct mounting it upside down. Mine certainly did not.

Almost every video editing software program should have effects that will let you change the orientation of your video (rotate left, rotate right, flip vertical, flip horizontal, etc...)

yes the screen will physically rotate, whether the data displays in that format depends on your software configuration.

not really, i mean you could if you taped it there or something but if you turn the camera sideways the picture will be sideways. of course there are apps that you can fix that with but no generally it isnt going to work very well

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

There is a menu option to rotate the screen. I use it as a backup display for a license plate mounted cam. Default setting is same as looking out he review camera only much better and wider view.

yes unless you have a program that lets you turn your video then you mount it how you like I hope that helps you.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?

It doesn't rotate, however will pick up almost all sounds - its pretty sensitive. We would record audio separate and then add it to our video audio tracks.

That's actually a software question rather than a camera/hardware feature. I don't use the software included with the camera but just using the standard Windows Photo Gallery it is easy to rotate the picture to any orientation you like and it is automatically saved in that orientation for future viewing.

It can be mounted sticking straight up as seen in the product image, but the on-screen date-time etc. information printed on the video will be upside down. Also the device only rotates between two points at about 90 degrees so there's that to consider.

I think it requires a software program that handles video and allows you to separate each frame. I am in need of the same requirement.

Yes you can...you can mount it to the top of your helmet or the side...when you download your video you can rotate the image if you like...

Thanks for the reply. Apparently, I need a third party QuickTime codec component in order to see video on iPhoto and iMovie. I can see the video and I can save it on the application that came with Flip, but it's the sorriest looking application. I really wanted to do some editing on iMovie. Can you view your video in iPhoto and iMovie or just the Flip application?

Yes, it automatically rotate, No noticeable distortion if the original shots resolution was high.
