Videos recorded in landscape mode - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

I recorded a really important event yesterday, holding my camera horizontally with the top of the phone to the left, and I then transferred it to my PC and a flash drive. When I played it on my computer it is sideways. I tried to edit with Window Live Movie Maker but it won't play the MP4 format videos. Does anyone know why this happens, and what I can do to fix this? I know I am not supposed to be shooting videos vertically, they look terrible.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Was the video being shot facing downwards? If so, the phone might have automatically rotated the video thinking it was in portrait mode. If the entire video is in landscape, edit the file on the phone first and rotate it using the video editing app before sending it to your PC.

you can use a video editor tool to rotate the video

Thank you! I was able to do it! The video editing app has never worked for me, its not something I have had success with. So I downloaded an app called VidTrim and it is super quick and easy to use.
Really appreciate your reply.

You're welcome! Glad you got it figured out.

Video Shot in Portrait Mode

Is there any way to rotate it to landscape. I came from an iphone 4 and am still learning on what you can and can't do with the photos or video.
I have learned you can only take video in landscape mode so need about 5 videos rotated from portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

There's software that will do it. QuickTime Pro and VirtualDub

[Q] HD 60fps

I cannot seem to make this work. I choose HD 60fps in the video camera options and yet when I play the video back it is not slow motion. Is anyone else having this issue?

Is it playing back at 60fps?
Thread moved. Please post in the correct sections of the forum in future. Questions go in Q&A.

I wondered that too. But. When you go to the camera application, the one it shipped with, then press the video camera icon to switch it to video mode, on the bottom left a slide out toolbar is revealed. if the icon that looks like film negative is pressed, I get four options: normal video,video mms,slow motion, and time lapse. On pressing the slow motion button, "HD 60fps" is shown at the top left of the screen. When I press the record button, and play the resultant video back on the phone, It plays in real time. I copied the file to my computer and it played back on my computer; it plays in real time. Right clicking the file and then >properties>details showed 60fps. When I record in the "time lapse" mode, the resulting video plays as it should, fast, the clouds or what-have-you roll by. I called Motorola today, spent half an hour, talked to two customer service reps. Nothing. The second one went and got their "hands on Photon Q" He didn't even have a "slow motion" icon in the place I described. I then asked him if the firmware was updated on the phone. It was not. I have "77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US" which is the recent update I believe. Would someone mind just trying this slow motion feature out and telling me whether is works for my piece of mind? Thanks!
Just checked this, an apparently when you record a video with 60fps mode, you then have the option to adjust the playback speed in the lower left corner (landscape orientation) from 1x to 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. This option is missing on normal videos. Haven't tested yet how it translates off the phone on youtube or such. Maybe setting the playback speed sticks in the file?

Well done man Thank you
Wow! you are observant!
I did not notice the x factor in bottom left! I tapped it, changed the speed, exported the file to dropbox, played it back on my computer and it was in slow motion. Is this documented and i totally missed it? Even the Motorola folk were confounded...
****s awesome, I'm gonna have some sweet ass gifs for 4chan.

That made me lol
Umm, I was mistaken
The video is apparently taken in 60p. It plays back in 60p which makes it real-time. The Photon can play it back at 30 which makes it 1/2 speed, and smooth. Exported, a player (VLC etc) wants to play it back at 60fps = realtime. As far as i can tell, you need to change the playback speed with an editing program to have it play back at another speed (say 30p) in a normal player. Hope this helps ...

Is there a horizontal screen flip app?

I have a DIY smartphone projector and the lens flips the image up-side-down. The only available solution is to use a screen rotation lock so that the phone is upside down. The image, however is still horizontally flipped so you can't read text. I can't find an app that horizontally flips screens, but I know there is a video converter app that does this to videos. The problem with that is I'd need to download each video and convert it and then play it.
So my final question is:
Do you know of any screen flipping app or a video player (Like VLC or MX) that has the ability to play videos flipped? (Or if you know any other fix, let me know)
Maybe add a mirror to the DIY projector?

What happened to SNAP MOVIE? Any recommended apps that can replace this feature?

I currently use my G6+ to do all my video recording work for my YouTube channel. I fell in love with the snap movie mode in the video camera options because it let me record snippets throughout the day and save them all into a short video file so later I can edit on my computer. I have searched and searched and cannot find an app in the play store that can do this. Almost all video apps can record and pause but the moment you close the app or go to home screen or screen off, the current video is automatically saved as a video file and next time you use the app it starts a new video. I don't want 70 different video clips to edit each day, I want an app that can start and stop at the press of a button and keep those recordings in the same video timeline until I am finished to where I can then save as a final video. I really would like to upgrade to the G7 or V35 but from what I understand the snap movie feature was removed.
My reason for using LG phones is the wide angle camera and Snap Movie.
Is it possible to get this feature back with a newer device? Anyone know of an app that can do what I am asking?
Thanks again for the help!

Can you stop the gallery from auto-playing videos and motion picture?

The gallery's auto-playing of the motion picture is driving me nuts as I flip through pictures after a shoot. I'm trying to hone into the details of the final shot to determine which one's I want to post process and publish but I have to wait for the motion to stop. The only work around I've found is to go out of the picture back to the gallery, and dive back into the next picture, and it doesn't auto-play on the first selection. I've looked in the play store for alternative galleries and gave up after testing a few.
I came from the Note 10+ and motion picture didn't play automatically in the gallery. I've started only turning on motion picture for times where I think I need extra frames, but I've already found myself missing some opportunities when I didn't think to turn it on.
Thanks in advance!

There's no option to disable that unfortunately.. It's a feature built directly into the app..

I was also wondering this. It wasn't like this on previous devices, you had to press the Motion Photo button for it to move, not just move by default. So now when I want to show someone a photo it first plays a short video clip instead, makes no sense.
We can disable the auto play.. Check this :

There is way. You need to enable Gallery Labs.
