How to Rotate Video in Adobe Premiere Pro CC | Adobe Tutorial

Rotating a video in Adobe Premiere Pro is a simple process that can be accomplished in just a few steps. Here’s a detailed guide to help you quickly rotate your video:

Step 1: Change Sequence Settings

First, navigate to the Sequence menu and select Sequence Settings. In the Sequence Settings window, you will need to adjust the Frame Size settings.

  1. Swap the horizontal and vertical values:
    • Set the Frame Size to 1920 for the horizontal value.
    • Set the Frame Size to 1080 for the vertical value.

This action will flip the aspect ratio from portrait to landscape (or vice versa).

  1. Click OK to confirm the changes and then click OK again on the confirmation dialog box. Your sequence will now display in landscape mode instead of portrait mode.

Step 2: Rotate the Video Clip

Next, you’ll need to rotate the actual video clip:

  1. Select the video clip that you want to rotate in the timeline.
  2. Navigate to the Effect Controls panel.
  3. Adjust the Rotation settings by setting the rotation value to either 270 or -270 degrees.

For instance, if you have a landscape video that needs to be flipped to portrait mode, you would set this to 270 degrees. This adjustment reorients your video to the desired direction.

Confirmation

You should now see that your video rotation has been fixed and is properly oriented. That's it! Your video is successfully rotated in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

Thank you for following this tutorial, and we hope to see you again soon.
