A short fix for a video recorded on a phone that arrives in the editor sideways, corrected directly in Riverside without re-exporting elsewhere.
The video covers:
- Clicking the image in the canvas to select it
- Using the rotation handle to turn the footage
- The editor confirming when you hit exactly zero degrees
- Expanding the video to fill the frame properly
- Editing it normally afterwards with captions and overlays
00:00 Don't you hate when this happens you upload a video and maybe because it's on mobile it's flipped and so now you want to edit it but it's all sideways now you could fix that in the new editor so let me show you how because it's a really easy fix so here's a video that I recorded on my phone and now it is sideways really easy thing you could do is you click on the image and then I can just click on that little swirly guy and move it around it'll tell me when it's at zero so it's perfectly aligned and then I can even do things like expanding
00:30 it if I'd like to and you can see here but I'm not on the side of the screen and so now I've rotated my video and I can edit as if I would for any other video even though it uploaded sideways so that's rotating a video and you could try it out yourself in the new Riverside editor.
