How to rotate a movie on website - 10/25/2006 22:53:25
Hello! I am trying to rotate a movie I have put on my site
at: http://www.ignatiuschicagocrew.org/Head%20of%20the%20Charles.htm I tried Windows Movie Maker, but it is not working. Perhaps I did it wrong. But does anyone have a suggestion of how to rotate the movie I have on the website? And I would love to display a player with it. Any suggestions?
edit: link corrected

If the program doesn't have the ability to rotate the entire movie, I don't think anything in the program will be able to work.
Might want to post on a video editing forum, as they will most likely be able to help you. There isn't an html video rotate attribute for movies in web pages. This is something you have to change in the actual movie itself.

well, windows movie maker i think is 2 cheap to to that but ...
Actually, according to MS, you can use it to rotate a video.
How do I rotate video that I have recorded with my digital camera in the Player?
quote:
You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:
1. Import the video clip into Windows Movie Maker.
2. Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.
3. On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.
4. To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
-or-
To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
5. On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.
For detailed instructions, see Windows Movie Maker Help.
I downloaded your MOV file and rotated, compressed and converted it to a wmv file. It went from 21,756 Kb to 2,811 Kb. But the quality suffered a bit. This was all done using Windows Movie Maker. The compressed video was saved as "Video for broadband (340 Kbps)".
There are other options that give better quality but they are obviously larger in size.
When I imported your original MOV file, it was actually four separate clips. I inserted the "Rotate 90*" from the Video Effects before each clip. It rotated all the clips and the video played seemlessly.
Here is your rotated and compressed movie file: http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/videos/rowing2.wmv
You can now right-click and save the file.
Here is your rotated and compressed video on an embedded media player: http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/videos/rowing-video.htm
There are three files that make up that example:
The main page: http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/videos/rowing-video.htm
The page with the embedded media player (set up to play automatically): http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/videos/rowing.htm
And the startpage: http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/videos/startpage-rowing.htm
The instructions for compressing the video are found here:
http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/makemovies.htm
And the instructions for embedding the media player are found here: http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/embedmediaplayer.htm
The above example uses inline frames and three files (examples I cited above).
But you can also embed media player using Ajax Dynamic Content and Javascript with CSS. Ajax is like frames and still uses three separate files. But the Javascript/CSS is more streamlined.
Check them out here:
http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/embedmediaplayer-ajax.htm
http://www.edgesz28.com/edgesz28/embedmediaplayer-javascript.htm
I hope this helps. If you need any further clarification, just ask.
Good luck, Ed

There's also Swish Video which is what I use to convert my movies to Flash. There's an option before final conversion for it to create an HTML page with the video in it so you can just copy and paste the code. There's a trial version available so you can test it out.
and i use Video to Flash Converter, i think it's also can be useful for someone. it has a trial version too
