High resolution cameras in mobile devices have made these cameras a mainstream video capture device and the good old large video cameras are becoming rare. But while capturing videos with mobile devices, most of the time we never pay attention to the orientation of the video and you finish recording the video by holding the mobile upside down or other direction.

Hi
ReplyDeleteGreat tips. But I am looking for a video player that is able to play multiple videos at one screen like MediaGalleryPro™Any body knows more about this?
ReplyDeletethank you very much . with your help i could change the orientation using vlc. thank you very very much
ReplyDeleteBoth desktop video rotate software and online services are helpful to change the orientation of a video. Compare these two kinds of tools, desktop program might be better. This is because online video rotators are completely controlled by the network condition. Moreover, you need to upload your video online, which take the risk of leaking personal privacy.
