billvon 3,116 #1 December 29, 2002 I have a chest mount camera which, due to the geometry of the camera mount, takes video upside down. Does anyone know of a fairly cheap video editor that would allow me to rotate the image 180 degrees? (I know things like Adobe Premiere will; I need something simple and cheap.)

murrays 0 #2 December 29, 2002 Bill, Quicktime Pro will do it for you...as long as the Windows version works the same as the Mac. I just opened a dv file and did the following.. Movie..Get Movie properties...Select Video track, Size, Click on Adjust and then click and drag in the window to rotate the video to whatever angle you want. $29 from Apple at www.quicktime.com Murray-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #5 December 29, 2002 Saweeeett!! I just forked over the $29 for another video need last week and am learning the new features Pro gives. Sorry, Bill, that I didn't have this simple answer when you asked me about this yesterday at the DZ. Now we -both- know! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #6 December 29, 2002 QuoteSaweeeett!! I just forked over the $29 for another video need last week and am learning the new features Pro gives. A book that I would highly recommend for its Quicktime tricks is iMovie2 Solutions by Erica Sadun. Lots of ways to use Quicktime for p in p, masks, titles and etc, etc. She also uses Photoshop Elements to edit stills, etc and use in conjunction with iMovie and QT. That's where I learned how to use the Size-Adjust to do lots of neat things. The Quicktime and Photo editing stuff would be applicable to Windows users as well. If you use a Mac, you get all the iMovie2 tips as well....but a Windows person could likely substitute their dv editor for lots of the iMovie steps.

billvon 3,116 #7 December 30, 2002 OK, tried Quickview Pro, and that works. Also tried Broderbund Movieshop Deluxe ($79 at Fry's) and that does a good job as well, and is also a so-so video editor. That is, it's a pain in the butt to use, but it works OK. (BTW Quade - the cheaper version, Movieshop Basic, is equivalent to Sony's Movieshaker. I'm guessing Broderbund wrote Sony's SW.)

quade 4 #8 December 30, 2002 Bill -- I wasn't really certain of the QuickTime Pro capabilities in the windows world. Glad it's working out for you. You've peaked my interest with the comparison of the Movieshop and Movieshaker software. It'd be interesting to know who exactly wrote what. I'm not a huge fan of any software that comes from Sony and maybe it's because it is written out of house. Who knows?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
