Vista - Microsoft Media Maker Version 6.0.6000.16386

Like John Inzer, I have found that some of my Video Clips get inverted to
show upside down in the movie maker viewer screen. I have gone through all
the menu's but cannot find a command that rotates the clips. It it almost
impossible to edit the clips unless I stand on my head when they go in this
way. Funny part is though, when you publish the clips, the come out the
correct way up?

At 62, it is not doing me any good standing on my head to edit these clips.

If I eventually find the rotate commeand, will they then come out upside
down when I publish the Project??

the command is a video effect...

either the one named 'rotate 180' or 'Mirror, Vertical' applied to the clip
on the timeline should do it. Use the one that makes it look right. Try
publishing a small test clip to see if it stays the way you want it.

updating your video card driver and/or your ActiveX software should be the
longer term resolution.

I don't recall saying I had any inverted clips.
What I did say was how to correct it:

The following instructions are for WinXP
MM 2.1 but should offer some clues for
Vista MM6 also.

In Movie Maker...go to "Effects" and
scroll down to "Rotate"...drag/drop the
required effect on the clip that needs
to be rotated.

Or...right click the clip that needs to be
rotated...choose...Video Effects / Scroll
down and select the required effect /
left click the Add button / OK.

Wow, I must be really dense, because this isn't what my Movie Maker in Vista
looks like. Sigh.
When I did find 'effects', either under Tools or below on the screen, I
selected it, but I got a whole page of pretty orange flowers with the effects
described on each one. So, I tried it anyway- I loaded my clip (which is
upside down) and then dragged the Rotate 180 flower over to my player - well,
I got a flower in there and not my clip.
I feel like an idiot, but I can't figure out what you mean at all.
I guess I won't be making any movies on this thing, lol.

Also, if I right click on the movie clip in the window, all I get are
options for full screen or small.

Weird.
Maybe I got a mutant program ;-)
