What is rotating a video?
Rotating a video is the process of changing the orientation of a video clip from its original position. This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as when you've accidentally recorded a video in the wrong orientation, or when you want to create a unique visual effect for your project. By rotating your video, you can ensure that it's displayed in the correct orientation for your viewers.
Why rotate videos?
There are several reasons why you might want to rotate a video:
- Correcting orientation: If you've accidentally recorded a video in the wrong orientation (e.g., sideways or upside down), rotating it will allow you to fix the orientation and make it easier for your viewers to watch.
- Creating visual effects: Rotating a video can create interesting visual effects that can add an artistic touch to your project. For example, you might rotate a video to create a "spinning" effect, or to create a sense of disorientation or unease.
- Fitting different aspect ratios: If you're using a video in a project with a different aspect ratio than the original video, rotating it can help you fit it into the new aspect ratio more easily.
