While creating a new video project, you can find out that some clips are vertically-oriented, specifically those taken on a smartphone. That happens because watching vertical videos on a phone is more convenient. Desktop and TV screens are totally opposite — they require landscape mode footages for a better watching experience.
Fortunately, all video editing software supports video rotation feature. In this article, we’ll cover guides for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
AVS Video Editor is among the easiest apps to change your clip layout even on older Windows computers.
Step 1. Run the app and import your video to a project.
Step 2. Drop the video you want to rotate to the timeline.
Step 3. Go to Effects -> Transform, and add Rotate to the timeline. Move the effect edges to apply it to the entire clip.
Step 4. Set the desired rotation angle. Click Edit Effects, and move the slider until the proper angle is achieved.
After carrying out these steps just preview and save your movie.

Step 1. Open a clip in iMovie and click Cropping.
Step 2. Choose either Rotate the clip clockwise or counterclockwise and save the output.
Changing the video orientation from portrait to landscape and backwards doesn’t even require third-party applications on your smartphone. This action is possible right in the image galleries.
