FAQ
- Q : I'm on iOS8.0 (or higher), and the application does not display most of my videos. Why ?
It is highly possible that you have ICloud photos enabled on your iPhone.
ICloud photos automatically moves your old photos and videos from your camera roll to the cloud. Your camera roll (Recently added) containing only your most recent videos (and photos).
The app displays the videos that are in the camera roll, this is probably only a few videos can be seen.
Here are the possible solutions :- In the photo app, you can download back a video from the cloud to your device (in the camera roll).
- Adding a video to an album in the photo application of your device, should permanently keep the video in the device. The app can display the videos in your albums if you swipe to the right, once in the video selection screen.
- Alternatively, the app can be used as an Extension, so you can launch it directly from the photo app, with any of your video selected.
- Q : The videos in my Camera Roll are not accessible. How to solve that problem?
You must go to the Settings application -> "Privacy" -> "Photos", and set the app (Rotate & Flip) to ON.
- Q : The videos imported from my computer are not accessible. How to solve that problem?
The videos you have imported are most probably located in the Video app of your device (and taken from the Movies folder in iTunes).
Unfortunately, Video Rotate & Flip (and every other app from the Appstore) cannot access those videos in the Video application yet.
The only videos accessible are the ones in the Photo application (the Camera Roll, organized by Events or by Albums)
They are the ones recorded with your camera, but you can also import videos to this Camera Roll from your computer using iTunes, the same way you would import your photos.
Rotate & Flip, also supports the iTunes Files Sharing feature, so you can manually add some external videos to Video Rotate & Flip quite easily.
Here is how to copy your videos to the Rotate & Flip folder in iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4094
The suggested file format of the videos is Apple QuickTime .mov. Other file formats like .mp4 or .avi files are also supported but might raise some compatibilities issues.
- Q : The rotation works on iPhone but not on my computer. What can I do?
Here are some possible solutions to your problem:
- If your goal is to fix a video that is incorrectly rotated in an external video player (like Windows Media Player), then simply
- open that video in Video Rotate & Flip.
- do NOT perform any rotation or flips (as the desired orientation should be displayed).
- export the video using the improved compatibility mode.
- save the video (in your Camera Roll, or itunes File Sharing) and import it in your computer.
-
Check that you are really exporting the video (and not only viewing it in the application).
Here are the steps to export the rotated video :- Press the top right icon, once the video is rotated or flipped according to your need.

Video Rotate & Flip does not delete the original video. When you export the video, a new one is created. - The Quicktime video player (made by Apple) should be able to read rotated videos without any problems.
If that's not your case, check that you have the latest version version installed on your computer.
