Portrait videos

[Alan Clifford]

I took a couple of videos today on the Fuji XF1, probably the first I've done.  And I took one in portrait orientation.  Afterwards, my heart sank as I realized I'd have to try and remember how to rotate it.   But no, various software displayed it correctly.

Intrigued, I looked at the meta data, and even compared a portrait and a landscape, and found a composite tag with a "rotation 90".  But no real tag to show the difference.

How do you do this Phil?  Obviously I'm impressed but intrigued as well.

Hi Alan,

The Composite tags documentation tells you what tags this is derived from.  To see the full details, see the CalcRotation subroutine in the QuickTime module.
