Software to batch rotate stills and video?

JackW wrote on 12/4/2015, 1:53 PM

A client has delivered three hours of video and nearly 5000 stills shot on his IPhone while on safari in Africa. At least half of the clips and stills have to be rotated clockwise 90 degrees.

Is there a script or software that will batch rotate this material?

Not sure about the video clips but IrfanView (it's free and great) has a batch processing option that will make rotating your stills very easy.

Irfanview for stills.
Avisynth script for the video?

Never thought of Irfanview! I have it and will give it a shot.

Hadn't thought of Avisynth, either. I'll take a look at it.

Thanks.

Why bother rotating them?

In Vegas put them all on the timeline, open up Pan/Crop on the first video, and rotate the cropping 90°. Adjust aspect ratio as necessary so it fills the screen. Ctrl-C to copy, select all the other video clips, right-mouse-button click on one and select "paste event attributes". Do this same procedure for the pictures.

You could make it a teensy bit easier by rotating the entire track with Track Motion, but the resizing/resampling is lower quality than with Pan/Crop.
