Ubuntu - Video - Rotate Videos with FFmpeg
Software Encoding
ffmpeg -i in.mov -vf "transpose=1" out.mov
NOTE: This will re-encode the audio and video parts.
- You can usually copy the audio without touching it, by using -c:a copy.
- To change the video quality, set the bitrate (for example with -b:v 1M) or have a look at the H.264 encoding guide if you want VBR options.
For the transpose parameter you can pass:
- 0 = 90CounterCLockwise and Vertical Flip (default)
- 1 = 90Clockwise
- 2 = 90CounterClockwise
- 3 = 90Clockwise and Vertical Flip
Use -vf “transpose=2,transpose=2” for 180 degrees.
If you don't want to re-encode your video AND your player can handle rotation metadata you can just change the rotation in the metadata using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.m4v -metadata:s:v rotate="90" -codec copy output.m4v
Check the rotate metadata first with:
ffmpeg -i input.m4v 2>&1 | grep rotate
To rotate the picture clockwise you can use the rotate filter, indicating a positive angle in radians. With 90 degrees equating with PI/2, you can do it like so:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "rotate=PI/2" out.mp4
for counter-clockwise the angle must be negative
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "rotate=-PI/2" out.mp4
It is possible to get finer-grained resolution of radians, because * behaves as multiplication:
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "rotate=-8*PI/40" -q 1 out.avi
(slightly less rotation than -PI/4 = -10*PI/40
Determine filters supported by ffmpeg
Other filters that can be used.
