Question about
Isr

So I been filming some video with my iPhone 4, but when I import them to iMovie on my MBP, they look upside down.

I don't understand why, when I watch them on QuickLook, they look alright.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any alternative to iMovie? Maybe from the App Store?

Thanks.

Weird! Sounds like orientation data is being transferred properly somehow. That said, when you're filming with your iPhone, how are you holding the phone? (It shouldn't matter, since the phone apparently has an orientation sensor -- but sounds like something might be amiss.)

Found an article on Apple's forums with someone having the same issue:
discussions.apple.com­/message.jspa­?messageID­=11787...

That said, suggestions for how to fix -- iMovie lets your rotate video, does it not? If that isn't a viable option, there is some command line voodoo that you can do that will apparently rotate the video with zero quality loss: ehough.com­/blog­/2010­/08­/04­/fix­-upside­-down­-iphone­-...

Let me know if that ends up working!
