    How do rotate a video?

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello Gregory,

    1) Please let us know if your video is slow to start, it doesn’t open anymore. If it is, then our video checker is right and you should fix the video. Otherwise we will adjust our checker (we are currently re-working it).

    2) Rotating of the video is not supported, but you can try it in CSS (version 3 should work with that). Let us know how it goes!

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I’m getting:

    Video meta data (moov-atom) not found at the start of the file! Please move the meta data to the start of video, otherwise it might have a slow start up time. Plese check the “How do I fix the bad metadata (moov) position?” question in FAQ.

    Used MP4 Fast Start but still get the warning.

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello Kenton,

    we got your video issue report as well, thank you!

    I actually downloaded your video, run MP4 Fast Start on it and I’m no longer getting the warnings and the video plays fine. I’m noticing my file is a few kB different in size.

    Are you sure you made no mistake in the process?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Must have been operator error. Thanks Martin.

    Help! I have tried every solution and still get this warning in about one out of every three videos. I am out of ideas, please tell me what this is and how to fix it.

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello Shirley,

    you should be re-encoding the video with Handbrake: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/encoding

    We are actually working on a more step-by-step oriented guide.

    Or you can try MP4 Fast Start, which also helps, but won’t help in case there are any other encoding issues.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    MRM-Shirley 11 years ago

    I put this video through Handbreak as suggested but still getting ‘Video Warning’. Any suggestions would be great.

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello Shirley,

    thank you for submitting the video using our video checker. Our video checker is right about your video, there are issues. I can’t play it in any of the browsers which need Flash to play the MP4 video – Firefox on Mac or Chromium. It first takes a long time to load and then there is no picture.

    I re-encoded the video using HandBrake and that one works fine and doesn’t report issues: http://lifeinamovie.com/2014/05/26/shirleys-video/

    I can see that you used HandBrake as well, so perhaps there is something you missed: http://foliovision.com/player/encoding#encoding-samples

    Could you please double-check that you used:

    * Format: MP4
    * Web Optimized
    * Video Coded H.264 (x264)

    Thanks,
    Martin

    iDealshare VideoGo is definitely the best choice to rotate MP4 videos.

    It can rotate MP4 without re encoding, which make the MP4 rotating progress much faster as well as keep the original video quality.

    It also supports rotating MP4 as well as convert to another video format.

    With this nice MP4 Rotator, it is just a piece of cake to rotate or flip all MP4 videos 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees and more.

    It also can rotate AVI, WMV, MOV, MKV, VOB, MPG and etc
