Flip a Video
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Flip reflects video against horizontal or vertical axes. The horizontal flip makes the image look like looking in a mirror, while the vertical flip swaps up and down. This feature is often used to correct reverse front camera selfie footage. Unlike rotate, flip does not change the orientation of a portrait or landscape, but changes the direction of the subject's face.
Key points
- The horizontal flip reflects the left and right like a mirror
- The vertical flip reflects up and down
- Front camera footage often needs a horizontal flip to keep text from flipping
- The text or logo in the video will also be reflected
- Flip does not change the dimensions or duration of the video
