Is there a hot key to flip a clip vertical? I wrote a script a long time ago which rotates any selected clip by an arbitrary angle. If you set the angle to 90 degrees, it flips it vertically.

Copy this code to Notebook (but don't include "code"), and save it with the extension ".js" (without the quotes). Put this in the Vegas script folder, and then assign it to a keyboard shortcut. Since I set the rotation angle to 90 degrees, this will let you rotate any and all selected clips with the press of one key.

Note that if no clips are selected, then ALL clips will be rotated.
