Re: Movie editing - rotating a movie through 90 degrees



"Garry Mahn" <email@hidden>

Perhaps sounds silly but......

Sounds very interesting actually.

I have taken a series of digital video footage of specialised x-ray
examinaitions with my camera in "portrait" position and in quicktime they all
appear in "landscape".

Can you tell us a bit more about this? Is this is a video camera outputting digital video and being captured via something like iMovie via a Firewire cable? Or is it a digital camera outputting a series of stills that you stitch into a VR? In the latter case, just set the dimensions as you wish with the VR stitching app or QT Player Pro.


Best, in questions like this, is to post an example (a pic is worth 1k words)

Is there any softwaree around that will rotate a QT movie through 90 degrees,
I appreciate that I will probably get a vertical "letterbox" image but that is
OK

It sounds as if you are talking about what we would call a VR movie which is a series of overlapping stills that are "stitched" into one very wide image covering up to 360 degrees in any direction. There are two variations on this theme, a VR panorama (where the camera is in the center of a circle/sphere) and a VR object where the camera orbits the photo object from a constant distance.


It is at least theoretically possible for each of those stills to be replaced with a looping video such that one could present a VR object that is changing as it is viewed. Example: a VR Object view of the earth where the viewer can arbitrarily view any hemisphere and see moving cloud patterns. I don't know if there is software that will do this kind of monumental stitching job. Perhaps others here who are more conversant with VR could comment.

Thanks for any assistance
