Question1:
"I took a video clip when the camera was held vertically, and when downloaded it to my mac, it was 90 degrees flipped."
Question2:
"Hey, I just shot a mov movie with my digital camera, but I did so with the camera rotated. Can you use QuickTime Pro on it for me, and rotate it the way it's supposed to be?"
