Hello,

 

I had to rotate a video from the cellphone, so i used rotate/mirror and then movement effects, size/position.

 

Currently i have this video in .mp4, when i play it back, it seems a bit off from video and voice, what can i do?

Hi

Use Effects, Movement Effects, Rotation to rotate the video.

Unfortunately - it seems a bit off from video and voice - is one of several common problems associated with cellphone video -they are not always 'standard' video formats/specification.

You can try right clicking the video in MEP and selecting Create frametable (new) to see if this helps.

Ahhh, i see now, so, if i use a camera, that should hopefully clear that up?  it can do video recording.  I own a canon power shot a560

Yes and no.

Yes the video is in the correct orientation -

No because the Canon A560 can only shoot video at 640 * 480 pixels maximum which is less than standard DVD format of 720 * 576.

However providing you can accept the lower resolution and probable quality reduction when viewed on HD TV - you could make standard DVD size video without too much loss of quality.

that's actually the size i need as i'm doing this for web to mail, instead of watching on tv, camera will do it in an .avi format though, and not for very long before it fills up the card.  so, after being on the phone with the cellphone company today, we are going to reshoot this section in horizontal instead, grant it will be in .mp4 from droid phone, but, i'm told today i'm the first person they have heard about to come across this problem with a vertical video and most don't shoot that way as it's not the standard anymore.  I even tried it without having the free realplayer to convert it to .wmv, it still landed it sideways without and with conversion.

 

this is all being done for a marketing video and not for the purpose of putting it on tv nor the web, just email, so once i export it, i make it for the web size of 640 X 480.

 

lesson learned i guess, skip the vertical shots.

 

Thank you John for your responses and your help, greatly appreciated.
