When to rotate a video 180 degrees

A 180 degree turn is for footage recorded upside down: an action camera mounted inverted, a phone held the wrong way up, a webcam clamped under a shelf. The picture is the right shape already, it is simply the wrong way round.

Unlike a quarter turn, this one does not change the frame size. A 1920 x 1080 clip stays 1920 x 1080, so nothing downstream, no export preset and no upload limit, needs revisiting.

If the picture is upside down AND reads backwards, it was mirrored as well as inverted. Apply the 180 here, then mirror it on the page linked below.

FAQ

rotate 180°: questions

Does a 180 degree rotation change the resolution?

No. Only quarter turns swap width and height. A 180 leaves a 1920 x 1080 clip at 1920 x 1080.

Is rotating twice by 90 the same thing?

The result is identical, but it re-encodes twice. Applying the 180 in one pass is quicker and loses less.

Will the picture be cropped?

No. Rotating turns the whole frame, so a quarter turn swaps the width and the height rather than cutting anything off. Flips leave the frame exactly as it was.
