Have you ever recorded a video on your phone or camera, only to find out later that it’s in the wrong orientation? It can be frustrating, but don’t worry – you don’t need any special software to fix it! In this article, we’ll show you how to rotate or flip a video on Windows 10 using the built-in Video Editor app.
First, it’s important to understand why videos end up in the wrong orientation. When you press the record button, your device takes the orientation from that moment. So, if you start recording in vertical orientation and then turn your device sideways, the video will be sideways as well. To avoid this issue, make sure you rotate your camera before hitting record.
If you’ve already recorded a video in the wrong orientation, don’t worry. Here’s how you can fix it using the built-in Video Editor app on Windows 10:
1. Open the Video Editor app by searching for it in the search bar.
2. Click on “New video project” and give it a name.
3. Import your video clip into the project.
4. Click on “Storyboard” and drag your video clip into the timeline.
5. Click on the rotate button to rotate your video until it’s in the correct orientation.
6. Click on “Finish video” and choose your preferred video quality.
7. Click on “Export” and choose a location to save the rotated video.
That’s it! You now have a rotated video that’s ready to be viewed in the correct orientation. You can rotate your video using the rotate button, the shortcut key (Control + R), or by right-clicking on the clip in the storyboard.
It’s important to note that the Video Editor app is located within the Photos app on Windows 10. So, when you open the Video Editor app, you’ll actually be in the video view of the Photos app.
In conclusion, if you need to rotate or flip a video on Windows 10, you don’t need any special software. Simply use the built-in Video Editor app to fix the orientation of your videos. We hope this article was helpful in solving your video orientation issues!
