PE12 on imac ,latest OS, I import stills and video  clips from Organiser into PE. All displayed OK in Timeline icons, but in the video itself, some clips are rotated thru 90' I cannot see any logic as to which clips.never seen this before. I can then manually rotated them OK , buts it a real nuisance! Chris

    What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is your video?

    Under the Edit menu, what settings are listed on the General page of Project Settings?

    Are all of your photos sized to no larger than 2500 pixels wide and 1875 pixels tall?

    Hi Steve Now Christmas is over, back to computer. I guess you were hinting that the photos needed resizing !! You are correct. I didn't realise that if you didn't resize this happened! I was being quick and trying to make short video without resizing. The video worked ok without getting upset, after I had corrected rotations. I double checked wth quick experiment, and yes, that is the root of the problem So problem solved and lesson learnt. Thanks again. Just installed latest versions so more fun to come Happy new year Chris
