How to rotate a video

  2. Drag it onto the timeline and select it.
  3. In Effect Controls ▸ Motion, type 90, 180 or −90 in Rotation.

How to flip (mirror) a video

Drag Horizontal Flip or Vertical Flip from Effects ▸ Video Effects onto the clip. Horizontal Flip is the usual fix for selfie videos where text appears backwards.

Straighten a tilted horizon

Small values like 2 or −1.5 in Rotation level a crooked shot. Raise Scale slightly to hide the corners.

Questions

Can I rotate only part of a video?

Yes. Split the clip with ⌘K (Ctrl+K) and rotate one piece, or add Rotation keyframes to animate it.

Will the rotated video keep its quality?

Yes for 90° and 180°. Export with Match Source – High bitrate.
