Rotating videos from iPads

[MattDLEA]

Got a few problems this morning.

 

A teacher as took some videos of kids making adverts on his iPad.

We normally just airplay to the apple TV that is connected to the Projector via HDMI. However that allows things to be seen but no sound. Had a look and there is no audio out jack from the projector either.

We have used a software version of airserver that he has tried to use but the video freezes so no good there.

Videos are to big to email, or it cuts some off. It wakes ages to save to google drive and then wont open up?

Any ideas on this?

 

Also the videos that have come down and work some need to be rotated 90 degrees, is there an easy way to do this?

 

Cheers

Matthew

Last time I was asked this we opened the in premier and it just did it.

 

I'd have thought most modern video editing tools will do this given how common a mistake this is.

 

iMovie on the ipad?

 

Edit: yeah iMovie can rotate, import the clip and twist with two fingers.

I've had this issue before with the sound and strangely it was a resolution issue on the apple TV unit. Go into the setting a select a different resolution.

To prevent teachers recording vertical videos in the future, you should tell them to use an app called Horizon.

I made some scripts for this, converts them to wmv too

Download ifunbox plug the ipad into the pc and drag the videos off

We usually transfer videos off our iPads by uploading them to Google Docs. Uploading using the Google Docs app does the rotation automatically.

I wrote this python program to call ffmpeg to rotate: https://gist.github.com/mavhc/78b325cc76a1ecfe3952

[caffrey]

ffmpeg on the command line

 

I have a folder called Australia, in there I have folders called Flip and converted, in the root of the folder I have a copy of ffmpeg.exe

 

For %%A in (Flip\*.*) do ffmpeg -y -i "%%A" -vf hflip,vflip "c:\australia\Converted\%%~nA".mov

 

Copy all upside down videos into flip and run that code

I use AnyVideoConverter - convert to MP4 at the same time.

You can get HDMI de-embedders which break out the audio to an analogue format. There are cheap ones for sale generally I quite like the CYP one but this is not cheap.
