HOW TO ROTATE VIDEOS ON LIGHTWORKS?

Below are step-by-step instructions to rotate videos on Lightworks. We

also added an additional alternative method for convenience.

THE FLIP FLOP METHOD

This method includes Flip & Flop options which are capable of rotating
the videos up to 180 degrees. Because this is a manual method to
rotate videos, you can achieve the correct orientation of the video. Also,
this is a convenient and instant method for beginners as well as
professionals.

Here is how it works:

● Open the application and create a new project, set a frame rate
from the given options.
● Tap on local files where you can find your saved videos.
● Then, select a video from the visible projects that is to be imported.
Now, tap the ‘Import’ button. The video that you’re willing to edit
will be visible.
● Then, go to the ‘edit’ workspace and select the videos to put them
in a timeline. This will create sequence 1.
 ● Then, tap on the ‘VFX’ option, then, +. From the ‘Components’
category, select either ‘Flip’ or ‘Flop’ option below the 3D DVE
effect.
Your chosen video will be rotated accordingly.

In absence of the flip/flop options, use the z-axis rotation function. It will
help you in controlling the direction of the video rotation and you will be
able to get the orientation you expected.

THE SEQUENCE IMPORT AND EXPORT METHOD-

Follow the first four steps from the earlier method and then continue with
these steps,

● Then, to arrange a second sequence for another video, right-click

the empty spot in the media pane and choose ‘Create Empty
Sequence’.
 ● Then, get the second video onto the empty timeline and drag it
towards the beginning of the timeline.
● Now, the sequence for each video is ready. Select the same, right-
click the sequence on the left side of the timeline.
● Then, select export.
This way your video will successfully be rotated once you open the
media player to view it. This is another way to rotate the video according
to your will and to get the expected results.

Wondering if there is any efficient alternative for Lightworks? The answer

to that is yes. (If applicable) Because Lightworks may not be everybody’s
cup of tea due various some difficulties and a fair share of pros & cons.

Hence, there is an alternative called iMyFone Filme.

This software is easily accessible on Mac and Windows PC for

beginners in the field of videography. It gives a professional touch to
your clips yet being so user-friendly.
