Rotating video clips

Guest

My daughter sent me some clips that she took and a couple of them are taken
sideways on the camera, so they need to be rotated before I can put them all
together into a small movie. Does anyone know how this can be done?

==========================
Open the clips in Windows Movie
Maker...drag them to the timeline...and
go to...Video Effects / Rotate.

Drag the correct effect (Rotate 90)
and drop it on the timeline.

To save the rotated file...try the following steps:

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
