Detailed Steps to Rotate Videos in Windows Media Player
Video Editing and the emotion the final product evokes is dependent on many aspects, be it the source clips, the cuts introduced or the way of presentation. But to get to the end, there are several steps involved in the production process, and not every instance of it is perfect. But we all know, editing does often help iron out any kinks, with its ability to solve basic problems, like footage that is askew, or upside down. Thus with the steps listed in this article we will help you understand how you can rotate videos to ensure your edited project looks as intended.
This particular article considers the pre-installed Windows Media Player and WonderShare Filmora.
Note: We documented the steps in this guide with Windows Media Player (on a device running Windows 10 ) and WonderShare Filmora.
How to Rotate Videos with Windows Media Player?
Imagine you’re in a situation where you have gone ahead and finished the filming portion of a project on your smartphone but realise that the capture footage is upside down. Fortunately, this sort of a scenario is a common occurrence and it has quite a simple fix. If you look around the gallery app on your phone, you should be able to rotate the footage there itself, but if you’ve already moved it over to your laptop, hopping into a video editor can get this done in a jiffy.
Unfortunately, if you were planning to do this with the pre-installed Windows Media Player, you will not be able to rotate the clip. The software is only capable of being used as a Media Player that can help keep track of stored videos in a neat and easy to view format. It also has the ability to burn inserted discs, although we doubt any modern laptop comes with a disc drive.
Hence, to rotate video and still ensure its compatible with Windows Media Player, you can use free tools like VLC Media Player or Wondershare Filmora. The steps on how to use Wondershare Filmora to rotate video clips have been elaborated ahead in this article.
TIPS FOR WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
In case you want to use Windows Media Player as your default software to manage stored content, read this section to understand how you can control displayed video libraries.
While Windows Media Player will pull all compatible files present in the Default Video Library, you can customise the information made available by using the Organises Function.
To configure the Videos Section to display specific content follow the steps listed below.
- Click on Organize.
- Then move onto Manage Libraries
- Now click on Videos.
Click on Add to enter File Explorer and choose a new folder to add to this section.
Once you add the new folder, the screen will update itself with all the video files present in the folder.
An alternate way to Rotate Video with Wondershare Filmora
With Windows Media Player only being a playback tool, we feel free software like Filmora Video Editor are a great option to have installed on your device.
In Wondershare Filmora, footage rotation can only be done via the Edit Option — in my experience this straightforward approach felt quite simple and intuitive. And in case you wish to incorporate Keyframes into the rotation step, the feature is available near the Timeline.
The emphasis on accessibility for every function in Filmora, provides a significant advantage. The use of modern iconography also betters the familiarity users may have with the software. These factors make Wondershare Filmora a great option to consider. If you do not already have Wondershare Filmora, you can download the software by visiting the official website.

This Article Will Help You Make Cinematic Shots with Simple DIY Hacks Using Stuff From Your Nearest Dollar Store. You Can Edit Your Video to Get Pro Results by Wondershare Filmora
Filmmaking is usually an expensive hobby, but slowly over time, it’s become more affordable. Regular gear like cameras and lights are slightly cheaper, but there are plenty of ways to DIY regular items to use as film gear.
Making DIY film gear may not give you the same look as professional gear, but it could be a fun project and give you similar looks on a budget. In this article, let’s look at some dollar-store DIY hacks that you can use for filmmaking on a budget.
Tip 1. Add foreground elements to improve the frame of videos
Let’s start with something we can do to enhance your framing. Sometimes we want to direct our audience’s attention to a specific part of the frame. In this case, it’s the talent of placing an object in the shot’s foreground that can help us do that. While also making a more attractive frame. At the dollar store, try using something like these fake plants.
You can place it in front of your lens. Then focus on the talent behind it, giving a blurry foreground that perfectly frames the talent. Here’s how the shot looks with and without foreground elements.
Note: Remember, you can also use a different angle than simply approaching the object from the front. You can try and use different perspectives until you find the shot or footage you are looking for.
Tip 2. Adjust lights with poster boards
The shot below looks dark and boring because the background has no light. Here’s the shot with and without the lights.
A practical light is a light that shows up on screen rather than lighting talent from off-screen. For example, some dollar stores have small LED accent lights for around three dollars.
Others even have lights with adhesive backings that allow you to place them all over the room—creating great lighting accents with small eye-catching pockets of light.
On film sets, crews use a bounce to reflect light from one light source in another direction. At the dollar store, we can find something like this poster board to get a similar effect.
By reflecting the light onto the bounce, we get softer, more spread-out light when it’s reflected. Then you will get the result in a nicer look. Using poster boards, you can do multiple things with light.
- Use white to bounce light.
- Use black as a flag to shape or block light.
- You can also use green for a small green screen when filming a product video
You might have seen how big production companies create those alienated landscapes, such as in the movie Avatar and many more.
The concept is recording your object in front of a green screen behind it. Then, it’s much easier to add a separately filmed background to the final footage with a video editor like Filmora.
Tip 3. Smooth audio with felt pads or socks
Do you ever have audio pop while you are recording? It can get annoying. So, to fix the issues, we are now teaching you three practical ways.
1. Felt pads
Felt pads with adhesive backs can be stuck onto noisy props like a coffee mug. This way, we won’t hear the mug hitting the table when we’re recording sound.
2. Socks as pop filters
Professionals use what they call a pop filter because a pop filter can reduce the loud pops from their mouths. But what is pop? Pops usually occur when people say words that start with the letter P or B.
Then what is a pop filter? You might have seen in some YouTube videos, especially live streamers, where they use a microphone with a plate on its head; that’s called a pop filter. You can purchase pricey gear like a pop filter, or we can get a pack of cheap socks at the dollar store and place them over the mic.
It will make your voiceover slightly quieter, but it should also get rid of the popping. So keep adding socks until you hear no more pops in your voiceover.
Conclusion
See how easy it was! Keep in mind these dollar store hacks in your next video. And you can edit your footage like a pro with an easy-to-use video editor like Wondershare Filmora . Keep exploring different ideas and perspectives to record.

Easy Steps to Make Glitch Effect with Filmora
You don’t need outdated VCRs or any other broken technology to produce glitch effects. Instead, you can use a video editing program for Mac and PCs, such as Filmora , to transform your videos into glitch-effect masterpieces. You can also use the glitch effects to provide striking shot transitions or opening titles. Keep reading this article on how to apply various glitch video effects in Filmora 11:
Part 1: What is a Glitch Effect?
A glitch effect occurs when a section of your video temporarily changes look or “glitches” for a short while. Although transient glitches are typical, they can occasionally linger for a few seconds or more.
You can use a glitch effect to temporarily change the appearance of the image in the video to give the impression that a machine is processing it. Additionally, it gives your finished piece a fantastic, dreamlike aspect.
Part 2: When Should you Apply a Glitch Effect?
A few years back, we had no choice but to watch glitchy movies on rusty VCR devices. Nowadays, retro video effects are very popular in TV movies and even games. You can use these effects in many ways, like making fake vintage footage or emulating a glitching computer.
Filmmakers frequently employ glitching in their videos to give the impression that a character has been affected by a technical abnormality, is having a flashback, or is being watched by someone else via a digital camera system. Something happens when the person or image flashes, often without their knowledge. In addition, you can apply the glitch effect to a composition to evoke a feeling of dramatic irony.
Part 3: Tutorial to Chromatic Aberration Effect
Chromatic aberration refers to how old lenses tend to split colors. This effect is very common in Old media like VHS or LaserDisc.
Here is a complete breakdown of each component of the Retro look and how you can make your glitch effects in Filmora 11:
Step1 Download Wondersshare Filmora 11 on your Pc by visiting filmora.wondershare.com.
Step2 Open Filmora and click on the Effects tab.
Step3 Search Chromatic aberration and drag the effect right onto your clip. It will give you a fantastic pre-made version of the effect.
Part 4: How to Customize Glitch Effect with Filmora
You can add final touches to your video clips by customizing Filmora’s effects to take your glitch effect to the next level. You can mix and match different effects in your video to create your custom glitch effect in Filmora 11.

Step1 Once you have your clip on the timeline, select your clip and click on Edit. Now choose Duplicate to create two more copies.

Step7 Double-click the clip in the top layer, click the Video Tab, and open the Compositing options. Set the Blending Mode of this top layer to Soft Light.
Now click on the clip in your preview window and move the image over by pressing the left Arrow key on your keyboard a few times. Once you’re happy with the top clip, hide that layer by clicking the eye icon.

Step1 First, click the Effects Tab and type in Vignette.
Step2 Next, drag the Vignette Radius effect to a layer above your previous three layers.
Step3 Now adjust the length to match the other clips.

Step1 Click the Effects tab.
Step2 Search for the VHS static and drag it to a new layer above everything else.
Step3 Extend one of the effects to match the length of your previous clips.
VCR Distortion
VCR Distortion effect will make your video look highly glitched. To apply this effect:
Step1 Click on the Effects tab.
Step2 Search for VCR Distortion, then drag and drop this effect over your previous layer.
Part 5: Tips to Create Awesome Glitch Effects
