Rotating video 90 degrees in Adobe Media Encoder

[tomp72162572]

I have a lot of videos that are taken along and that is not good for me

How I turn the video 90 degrees as easily as you can do other conversion software but not quality

I use Premiere occasionally but it's a complicated trick

I would be happy with you to add an option or teach me how to do it in Media Encoder

Hi TomP,

That cannot be done in Adobe Media Encoder, but you can easily achieve this in Adobe Premiere Pro.

After doing that you can export your video from Media Encoder.

Here are some useful tutorials and documents:

Thanks,

I've got to say that it's ridiculous that this cannot be done in Media Encoder. One can add captions, colour correct and a myriad of other things including crop and resize, but you cannot rotate 10 years into the the ages of smartphones. You have to launch Premier or After Effects instead - Completely crazy making. Please add this to the wanted features list!

Albeit I'm not a software developer and I have great respect for the minds whom create the digital tools that I use everyday, I have to echo the previous comment here from @paulliamkerr.

This does not actually work Kulpreet. The exporting workflows clip will not retain the rotation and just output the source clips exactly as they are. Whoever put the "correct answer" on this needs to remove it. I know this is three years old, but it is SUPER frustrating that even the workaround does not work.

I confirm, filming in smartphone format with a camera requires a 90 degree rotation to be viewed on a computer, it's amazing that Media Encoder does not offer this simple feature.

This answer is no longer accurate as of v. 23.1 build 81

This may be helpful if you're using a mac. If you right click the file in question, and go to quick actions, selecting "rotate left" will rotate the file 90 degrees. Also once you do this, premeire will recognize the change and adjust the files automatically.

We do also have rotate as a feature in Media Encoder. It is currently in beta and will be released later this year.

Tried this ROTATE function: it's very inconsistent, even uses odd instead of even numbers.

What are these inconsistencies? Are you referencing to the new AME Beta roation feature?

Disregard my message: mixing up two different features. I was testing the Crop in the source tab.
