How do I flip a video in iMovie on iPhone?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To flip a video in iMovie on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open iMovie on your iPhone and select the project you want to work on. If you don’t have a project yet, create a new one by tapping the “+” icon and selecting “Movie”.

2. Scroll through the timeline until you find the video clip you want to rotate. Tap on it to select it.

3. In the viewer, you’ll see the selected video clip. To rotate it, use a twisting motion with your finger and thumb. Move them in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction over the video image.

4. As you twist your fingers, you’ll notice a white arrow appearing on the video clip. This indicates that the clip has been rotated 90 degrees in the direction you twisted.

5. If you want to rotate the clip further, continue twisting your fingers until you achieve the desired rotation. Each twist will rotate the clip by another 90 degrees.

6. Once you’ve rotated the video clip to your satisfaction, you can preview the changes by tapping the play button in the viewer. This allows you to see how the flipped video looks in real-time.

7. If you’re happy with the result, you can continue editing your project or export the video. To export, tap the “Done” button in the top-left corner of the screen, and then select “Save Video” or choose from other export options available.

Remember that flipping a video in iMovie only affects the selected clip, not the entire project. So, if you want to flip multiple clips, you’ll need to repeat these steps for each individual clip.

Flipping a video can be useful in various situations. For example, if you accidentally recorded a video in the wrong orientation, you can easily correct it by flipping it in iMovie. Additionally, flipping a video can create interesting visual effects or help you achieve a desired composition in your project.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you successfully flip your videos in iMovie on your iPhone. Happy editing!
