CaseGuard Studio’s video redaction software allows you to easily rotate or flip your video footage before, during, or after the redaction process. Whether you’re working with body-worn camera video, surveillance clips, or any other media, the rotation and flip tools ensure your footage displays correctly and meets your formatting needs.
Follow these steps to rotate or flip your video in CaseGuard Studio:
Open the Video Tools
On the left-hand vertical toolbar, click Tools > Video > Rotate.
This will open the Video Tools section at the bottom left corner of your workspace.
2. Choose Your Rotation or Flip Effect
In the Video Tools section, locate the Effect dropdown menu and select the transformation you want to apply:
-
Rotate 90°
-
Rotate 180°
-
Rotate 270°
-
Flip Vertically
-
Flip Horizontally
These options allow you to correct tilted footage, upside-down bodycam recordings, or mirrored video segments – common needs during the video redaction process.
3. Apply the Effect to a Portion of the Video
You can apply the selected rotation or flip effect using three methods:
🔹 Method 1: Click and Drag on the Audio Wave
-
First, choose your desired transformation from the Effect dropdown menu.
-
Then, click and drag across the audio wave to highlight the portion of the video you want to transform.
-
Once highlighted, right-click on the selected audio wave area.
-
Select Rotate from the context menu — your chosen transformation will be applied to that exact portion of the footage.
🔹 Method 2: Use the Press and Hold Icon
-
Click your desired transformation from the Effect dropdown menu.
-
Press Play on your video.
-
When you’re ready to begin transforming a section, click and hold down the “Press and Hold” icon located next to the dropdown.
-
Finally, release the icon once the desired section is complete — the effect will be automatically applied to that selected portion.
🔹 Method 3: Manually Enter Start and End Times
-
Choose your transformation from the Effect dropdown menu.
-
Just below the dropdown, enter your Start Time and End Time for the section you want to transform.
-
After entering the times, the effect will be applied to that portion of the video.
4. Use the Top Toolbar (Alternative Method)
Alternatively, you can also access transformation tools from the horizontal toolbar at the top:
Go to Tools > Transform and select how you’d like to rotate or flip your video.
Conclusion
Whether you’re correcting a camera angle, preparing footage for review or refining clips during the video redaction process, the rotation and flip tools in CaseGuard Studio give you complete control over your video. With flexible options to apply transformations to selected segments or entire clips, you can fine-tune your content with ease and precision.
