Digital Camera problem!

[Evan Stone]

I have a Canon PowerShot A710IS digital camera, a great little camera too. However, I was using the video option to film a 2 minute clip while sightseeing and when I went to upload the clip and play it back with window media player, it plays horizontal instead of vertical the way it should! It was obviously recorded this way but I would like to fix this, edit it.

Does anyone have a suggestion to edit this to play properly or a program to adjust this issue? Thank you.

I had this issue myself. There are various video editing programs that do the job but not all of them. Sorry but I don't remember which pogram it was any more, my laptop is too much of a weakling to edit video with, you just have to investigate.

Or watch while lying down.

Lol. That's okay but if I mention a few would it help you remember? There is AVS Video Editor and I know that Movies Movie Maker was no help.

How do I rotate video that I have recorded with my digital camera in the Player?
You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:

1.
Import the video clip into Windows Movie Maker.

2.
Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.

3.
On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.

4.
To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

-or-

To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.

5.
On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.


For detailed instructions, see Windows Movie Maker Help.

Note that you may need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio of your rotated video so that it looks normal during playback.
