If it’s a video editor, it has to be able to produce MPEG4 files. MPEG3 files are sound only.
I don’t know anything about this particular software package. However, the technique to correct the orientation is simple: - Split the video into two clips at the point where the orientation switches. - Apply a rotation transformation to the rotated clip so that it’s in the correct orientation. - Join the two clips back together and render a new corrected video export. Ninety degree orientation transforms (and multiples of ninety degrees) are generally lossless since they’re just a matter of tweaking the parameters in the track to a different display value for the image raster. Doing a transform to any other value requires recalculation of the frames. Look up the help information for the software you’re using to see how to make this happen. :-) G > On Oct 25, 2017, at 7:53 AM, Marnie (aka Doe) <[email protected]> wrote: > > Okay, I am basically video clueless. > > I have Video Premier Elements 11 on my computer.
