As long as nature defines a top and bottom orientation of any perspective, we will always manage to take a shot that defies this default. For digital pictures, the correction is easy nowadays. Just rotate your picture with your favorite or more commonly, default application. With a click and a 90 degree turn clockwise or counter-clockwise, this task is now second nature. However, for an old guy like me, there was never a simple way of doing the same with video clips that my digital camera captured. That is, until I discovered a handy application called MPEG Streamclip, which for the Mac, is a true blessing (it’s also free!).

Once installed, I just dragged my video clips from iPhoto directly on top of MPEG Streamclip 1.8 and then I choose to Export to QuickTime from the File menu (or Command E) and then select my choice under “Rotate”. Once I’m satisfied, I click the Make Movie button and once the conversion is done, I have my rotation-corrected video clip ready to share. All in all, I recommend this little app since it’s a concise solution which is not too hard to learn.
