How can I rotate a video?

I am using Ubuntu 12.10. I have some videos that I want to rotate 90 degrees. What software do I use?

Answer 1

Do you mean rotation on playback or converting it to a rotated version?

As a commandline-user I normally use mplayer:

Playback: mplayer -vf rotate=1 videofile.mp4 (rotate can have values from 0 to 7, 1 rotates 90deg clockwise)

Convert (requires transcoding): mencoder -vf rotate=1 videofile.mp4 -oac copy -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -o newfilename.mp4 (you can use other video codecs as well, this is just an example)

And here is a graphical tool to do the latter: kdenlive (a kde application from the universe)

• import your video as a clip
• draw the clip into the timeline
• rightclick onto the video chunk in timeline
• select "Add Effect" -> "Crop and Transform" -> "Rotate (Keyframable)"
• The effect can be configured in the upper central section of the window, set X to 900 (thats 90 deg clockwise)
• Render your project (Project -> Render in the main menu)
• Be careful to choose a video resolution for the resulting portrait format
• select any video codec you like, i recommend x264 or vp8 (webm)
