Rotate a Video 90 degrees with VLC Media Player
(Version 2.0+)
Have you ever captured video with your cell phone or camcorder only to discover when you play it
back on your computer that the video is rotated 90 degrees? Or maybe you shot it that way on
purpose because you preferred portrait style to a landscape view? Before you go straining your neck
or flipping your monitor on its side to watch your video, we’ll show you an easier method.
Rotate and Watch a Video in VLC Media Player
Open VLC Media Player. (If you need to download VLC, you can find it for free at the following website:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
)
Open your video file by going to
Media >
Open File… and browsing for your file. Or, by just dragging
and dropping your video onto the VLC player.
Choose Tools from the Menu bar and select Effects and Filters.
Click the Video Effects tab, then click the Geometry tab. Place a checkmark in the Transform
checkbox and choose your degrees of rotation.
Now you can enjoy your video the way it was intended to be viewed.
