In today's era, we can use smartphones to capture videos and photos effortlessly anytime, anywhere. Simply open the camera app, press the video button to start recording, and share the video with friends, family, or colleagues...
However, sometimes vertically shot videos appear horizontally on Mac, causing the video to be displayed upside down. Refer to Mytour's article below to learn how to rotate reversed videos on Mac OS.
Fixing Reversed Videos on Mac OS
To address the issue of reversed videos on Mac OS, the only solution available is to seek assistance from specialized applications.
1. iMovie
The first application Mytour wants to introduce to you is iMovie. This application doesn't require additional software installation, nor does it demand users to have extensive experience, making it suitable for newer macOS versions.
Download iMovie for Mac here.
Once iMovie is downloaded and installed, open the application and import the video file you want to rotate. The imported video will be displayed on iMovie's timeline.
Select the video and press key C on the keyboard to open the Crop menu. This menu presents options for rotating the video and other video editing choices. Then, locate and click the Rotate button to rotate your video horizontally.
After completing the edits, click Done. Finally, select File => Export and choose a location to save the edited video.
2. QuickTime
The next application Mytour wants to introduce is QuickTime. Unlike iMovie, QuickTime is integrated into all OS X versions. The app allows users to edit, rotate videos, and more quickly and easily without the need for additional software installation.
If your Mac doesn't have QuickTime installed, you can access it here to download and install the application.

Open the video you want to rotate in QuickTime, then find and click the Edit button in the main menu. Here, you'll have 4 options: Rotate Left, Rotate Right, Flip Horizontal, and the option to Flip Vertical. Choose any option you prefer and make the edits. After finishing, click File => Save. Select the location to save the edited video file and click Save to complete.
