I have taken some vertical (portrait) video clips with my digital camera, and wish to rotate them 90 degrees right to match the shots done in horizontal (landscape) mode. I can find nothing in iMovie that does a video rotate so far..do I have to get a optional software for this - or just go back to the drawing table and not take vertical shots anymore? bobproc

  I just came home with my first vertical clip taken on my Powershot camera, so that tip is a great help.
  
  But now the followon question. Now that I've got it rotated it is a 240x320 movie clip. When I import it into iMovie, iMovie stretches and squeezes it into 320x240. i.e. it won't play a vertical movie undistorted.
  
  Any way to deal with this without cropping info from the top and bottom of the rotated clip. How can I get iMovie to unstretch it.
  
  Thx
