Imagine how frustrating this can be. Lucky you find this article as we are going to tackle this upside down issue and share some very useful and practical apps to rotate the video for whatever you are up to. Avidemux might be a good option. So let's look into this program in details.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul class=\"pl40\">\n<li><a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: Introduce Avidemux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: How to rotate video with Avidemux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part3\">Part 3: Best alternative to Avidemux for rotating videos\n<p><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part1\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 1: Introduce Avidemux<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you try it out, you will finally get impressed by its easy and powerful functions. To begin with, Avidemux should be installed properly on your computer. Then, follow the guide below to rotate videos in Avidemux. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 2: How to rotate video with Avidemux<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some of you may have been  confused with MP4 and MPEG-4. Actually, when we normally mentioned MP4 video,  we're talking about a video ending in the file extension .mp4, and it is a  container format used to store both video and audio data as well. While MPEG4  refers to a well known compression method of the MPEG group,\u00a0 which cannot be used as file extension. <\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Launch the program and select the  format from the<strong> Video<\/strong> menu to produce. <\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Click <strong>Filters<\/strong> on the left  pane.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Click <strong>Transform<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Select <strong>Rotate<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Choose the way to rotate the video. Click <strong>OK<\/strong> and close<strong> <\/strong>the  video filter manager window.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: Save the edited video in the end. The  video will be rotated and flipped correctly. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><a onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Avidemux-11.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Avidemux-11.png\" title=\"Add videos\" alt=\"Add videos\" width=\"550\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Note: if you set the video to <strong>Copy<\/strong>,  you might not be able to rotate videos because  filters are only enabled when you set your output format to video such as  MPEG-4. Don\u2019t get stuck.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part3\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 3:  Best alternative to Avidemux for rotating videos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Avidemux is a good choice to rotate videos but it is kind of too simple for advanced users and the user interface is a bit annoying due to too many subordinate buttons. That means it does not offer a direct user interface to guide users to edit videos within clicks (often too many clicks are needed for a task) and it does not provide necessary features for users to edit their videos in the hope of getting better output effects. Therefore, an alternative to Avidemux is highly demanded. To find a program with more user friendly interface and better editing features, we search over and over again on the internet and finally get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"video converter\"><strong>Leawo Video Converter<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in our recommendation list. This program is being developed to convert videos from one format to another. It is reported that more than 180 formats are supported and by applying advanced technology, this program is 6X faster than its rivals in the industry. Asides from that, this program is able to perfectly preserve the output quality at 1:1 as the original file. When talking about the editing functions, we are surprised to find out that trimming, cropping, adding effects, removing noise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/how-to-create-a-3d-movie-out-of-a-2d-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"turn you 2D movie into 3D\"><strong>turning you 2D movie into 3D<\/strong><\/a>,etc. are supported and provided free for users to modify their video.

In terms of rotating videos, Avidemux has a natural barrier, which  is about the video output setting. If users forget to set the output file to  video, filters won\u2019t work no matter how hard you try. Thus, from the  perspective of overall performance, I strongly recommend Leawo Video Converter  to you no matter when you want to rotate video  or convert videos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people send you a video, you immediately open the video, and all you see is an upside down video.
