Travel Technology - Possible to Rotate a .MOV 90 degrees?

I taped some scenes with the camera turned sideways, forgetting I shouldn't do that in video record mode! :eek:

The .mov clips are imported into into Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0, and as far as I can tell, it cannot rotate a clip...

I have the basic version of QuickTime. Everytime I start it up, it bugs me to buy a better/advanced version.....would rotate->clip happen to be in the upgraded version? Or, am I just stick with 'em sideways? Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Through a Google search:

I figured out how to do this. It involves using two separate
programs, one to convert the Quicktime movie file into a .avi
file, and the other to rotate the .avi file.

1. Use RAD Video Tools from http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm to convert
the QuickTime file into a .avi file. (Download is free; they take
donations. I gave them $5 thru PayPal.) Browse to the Quick-
Time file, select it, click on "Convert a File", enter the output
file name, click Convert, choose a compressor (I used Indeo
video 5.10 with quality set to 100, it worked well), click OK,
and when it finishes converting, click Done and close the
program.

2. Use Virtual Dub from http://www.virtualdub.org/index to rotate the .avi file. Do File, Open Video File and
browse to the .avi file and open it. Then, do Video, Filters,
Add, select Rotate, OK, select Left by 90 or whatever, OK, OK,
and then File, Save as AVI, enter the file name, OK, and let
it do the conversion.

The resulting file in my case was much larger than the input
file, so I ran the output file back through RAD Video Tools
and converted it using the Indeo Video 5.10 compressor and
it became small size again.

A lot of work just to rotate a video, but it does work.

You could always put your screen on it's side :D

Never thought of that.... Thanks ScottC. And to you too tokyotraveler for the laugh!

Actually, unless it is an LCD screen that is not a good idea ;)

CRT's don't work very well on their side, and can potentially even damage them...

The full version of QT (QT pro) will do this also. Go to the Movie menu, select Get Movie Properties. Then select Video Track, and then select Size. Use the arrows rotate the image. It's $30, but less work.
