Video exports are upside down! Very weird.

Post by jborum »

My original video is right side up. The DP video window is right side up. But... the DP export is upside down. I found nothing about this here or in the Facebook group. What's going on?

Solution from Michael Miller on the Facebook group:

I've seen some devices (iOS specifically) occasionally create videos whose pixels are technically upside-down but then it adds a rotation to the QuickTime data. It's likely DP isn't preserving that rotation info when it bounces. In QuickTime 7, choose Window > Show Movie Properties . You can use this to see if there was a rotation in the initial video and add one to the bounced video.

Weird, but simple. The end.
