My husband recorded video off his ipad, but the video is upside down. How do I rotate it 180 degrees so the video is upright?

Hi Scott.
Here is a link to the version upgrade page: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia-stu...
And here is a link to download a free 30-day trial: http://www.techsmith.com/download/cam...
There really are tons of new features in the newest version. If you want to see some of them in action before downloading a trial, check this page out here: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia-wha...
Hope (at least one of these) helps! :)

The Toggle Pan Mode button can't be clicked in Camtasia. I click and click and nothing happens. Grrr....really need to get these iphone videos flipped. Please helped!
You have to first add the video to your timeline. Right click on the video in your 'clip bin' and select add to timeline

Do you need to change your editing dimensions?

Cathy, the video at http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-8-canvas-in-depth.html shows how to rotate the canvas in Camtasia. Alternatively, the Windows Photo Viewer has buttons which will do clockwise or counter-clockwise 90 degree rotation with a single click - but that's for pics only.
I have to admit, although I am on Camtasia 7, I got frustrated that Camtasia does not see the video the right way around like some other apps. So, I decided to use Microsoft Movie Maker to produce the video. I would have preferred to use Camtasia ... oh well.
Was it a vertical video?
If so, it's worth noting that you may be suffering from Vertical Video Syndrome. :(

lol ... it was not ... it was horizontal ... loved the video
If you can play the video on your computer you can use the Camtasia recorder to record it in the upright position. Then edit in in Camtasia.
Camtasia records in a nearly lossless format. All that really means is your video will not lose any quality by recording it from your screen and then editing it.

Hey, Joe, using Camtasia Studio 8.0.2 & would like to know if you will provide the menu path to make "Record the screen" record something that is horizontal in an upright position. I don't see any orientation tools in the "Record the screen" mini-window that pops up. Thank you!

It is weird as the video plays the right way up in Windows Media Player. It is just when we bring it into Camtasia that it turns it up side down in version 7.
(Edited)
That's because the video was recorded with specially added "exif metadata" that describes how the video was recorded initially.
As Kevin pointed out above, Camtasia 8 understands this and properly orients the video. Camtasia 7 must be unaware of how to deal with it.
As I see it there are two options.
1. Play the video on the computer and record it with Camtasia 7. (I think Joe Morgan suggested that)
2. Upgrade to Camtasia 8
Cheers... Rick :)

Hey, Rick, sorry to keep beating this topic, but I'm befuddled. Scenario: HTC Thunderbolt phone taking fairly decent video, but some vertical recordings come out horizontal in Windows. Great quality, but orientation's horizontal. I'm using Camtasia 8.0.2. I've tried using the original video & flipping it in Camtasia, have also tried recording screen & then flipping in Camtasia. Neither one gives me the quality the original had. Obviously, the Produce and share feature shows "up to 720p", so perhaps that's my bungle: I'm recording in 1080p/HD & Camtasia just doesn't go any further than 720p? Appreciate your guidance, sir!

The media has to be selected for the handles to show up. You can select the media by clicking on it in the timeline or directly on the canvas.
If it seems that you can select the media, but the handles are still not showing up, there may be something weird going on.

I'm not disagreeing that One button functionality is hard to beat.
I use a lot of media editing software and the need to rotate a video is one I just don't encounter very often.
Rotating a video by degrees is a fairly quick operation in Camtasia as well.
You can make precise adjustment in the "Visual Properties" panel.
See Images Below, Click to Enlarge.
Type in the desired degree of rotation.
You can also grab the rotational control handle in the Canvas Area.
Once you've left clicked on the "Rotation Handle" you can move your cursor far away from the actual handle and this gives you a lot of precise control over that rotation.
I appreciate one button functionality and maybe you should post this as an "Idea" and start a new thread. If the idea gets traction you may even see it added in the future by TechSmith.
