  I purchased space to upload video – I uploaded it a video – it;s in lanscape – the video is portrait! How can I re orientate the video so you don;t have to lean to one side to view it!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Did you take the video on an iPhone? There’s an issue with iPhone photos, the solution for which is to rotate it before uploading.

  I have the same issue with my IPhone video, and tried rotating it before uploading a second time… it still turned it sideways :-/

  Once the video is rotated, try opening it in QuickTime and select “Save for Web” from the File menu.

  Then, upload that version of the video.

  I just had this issue too. My video loaded upside down! I have used iPhone videos in my blog posts before, and this never happened so it must be a new bug. I hope someone is working on it.

  I imported the video into iMovie, exported it back to my desktop as-is (without rotating) and then uploaded it from there. The format change seems to have fixed it.

  Thanks for the clarification, timethief. I was just venting, not at anyone in particular. :)
