Positioning Video Clips

[Pitter]

I have recorded some video clips while holding the camera in the vertical position. Problem is when I download them to my computer they are recorded in horizontal (or sideways) position. If I try to up load them to TouTube or any other program they remain side ways. When I asked photobucket about the problem the response was that I need to use a video editing program to rotate them. All well and good. I found a free video editing program, honestech or something, downloaded it and phooy, found no option to simply rotate my video. I wrote to them and the resonse was sorry, it´s not possible to rotate a video with our program. Geez! I guess from my experience with still photos I didn´t think it would be such a problem. Can anyone direct me to a (preferably free) program that will allow me to simply rotate a video clip? Thanks!

Windows Movie Maker.
How do I rotate video that I have recorded with my digital camera in the Player?

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.

Well didn´t quite work. I clicked "save movie file" but no wizard appeared to complete the process.

I think it's Publish movie.

I hope it works -- I've done the same thing and haven't figured out how to fix them either.

"Publish movie" was the ticket. Thanks again!
