Upside Down Video

[londonblue]

I bought a new Olympus video camera before I went on holiday. It's a pretty good one as it is waterproof down to 30m so that I can use it when SCUBA diving also.

I practised using it on holiday in the pool, taking underwater video of my kids swimming and generally messing around in the water. When I got home I downloaded all the footage onto my PC only to find out I had it on an upside down setting, and all my footage is upside down. (This is actually a setting so that people can use the camera very close to the ground whilst holding the camera upside down, which will allow the footage to show the right way up when downloaded.)

I have set up the Olympus software on my PC which will allow me to edit the video, but it will only allow me to rotate through 90 degrees, not the 180 that I need. I tried saving it rotated 90 degrees and then doing it again, but that doesn't work.

So, do any of you know a way I can invert the footage I have taken?

Turn your pc or television screen upside down when viewing.

No worries :happy: :happy:

I'm only guessing but can you save it under a new name and then try again? I'm just thinking that you can't rotate the same file twice.

I did that for a bit. My wife thought I'd fixed the problem!

As it happens I've used VideoPad, and inverted everything.
