Looking For Video Editing Software

that can rotate video 90 degrees

[lawman]

Wife took video of my granddaughter on my Sony DCR TRV38 digital camcorder. For some reason she thought she could turn the camcorder sideways for certain shots like a still camera.

Short of turning my tv sideways, is there some reasonably priced software out there that can do this?

OK, found a free download called Virtual Dub. Anyone have experience with this program?

[sidyadav]

Yeah, I used Virtual Dub for about a year.

I found it pretty interesting and great for a freeware software until I had the money to buy the expensive ones.

You can rotate a video clip with basically any video editing software which does the basics.

You can try this one too:
Zwei-Stein Video Editor [thugsatbay.com]

Thats pretty cool too, and I think it does the rotation bit.

Virtual Dub is free (it's open source), contains no surprises, and does the job. Of course, there's virtually no documentation (it's open source!), it has a terrible, unintuitive inferface, poor installer...

But in that price-range, I've found that it's the best around.

[lawman]

Yep, downloaded it. Can't figure out yet how to capture from my camcorder or to import downloaded files. No emergency - I'll eventually figure it out.

>there's virtually no documentation

The documentation's right here [virtualdub.org].

lawman, have you tried Zwei-Stein? I forgot to mention, thats free too and it can I think import videos and stuff. Its pretty impressive, especially with the amount of video effects you can apply.

Zwei-Stein is like the free version of Adobe Premiere. Just like GIMP is the free version of Adobe Photoshop. ;)

Not yet. Like I said, no emergency.

One of the professional level editors is made by a company called Avid, and they have released a free version.

It's dumbed down, but it looks very promising for experimenting with DV editing. I'd imagine it can do what you're looking for.

It's called Free DV.
