In my case, the command is: ffmpeg -i ~/Videos/aisha.mp4 -vf 'transpose=1' -c copy ~/Videos/aisha-rotated.mp4Īnd depends on the video size and your CPU, the process may take a few minutes. It will speed up the command quite a lot! (Thanks to Roman Sheydvasser) Add -c copy (or -codec copy) will copy all the frames instead of doing decode -> filter -> encode process. 3 – means rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and flip.2 – means rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise.1 – means rotate by 90 degrees clockwise.If you get the Unrecognized option ‘vf error, you need to configure & build ffmpeg with -enable-filters (or at least without -disable-filters ), and check with ffmpeg -filters that you get them to show up. 0 – means rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and flip ./ffmpeg -vf transpose0 -i input.mp4 output.avi Just using -vf transpose0 to rotate 90 deg clockwise.In the command, the number in “ transpose=1” can also be: Now you can run the single command to rotate a video: ffmpeg -i input-video.mp4 -vf 'transpose=1' -c copy output-video.mp4īefore this command, you may first navigate to the video folder either via cd command (e.g., cd ~/Videos), or in file browser go to the folder and right-click blank area and select “Open in Terminal”. Click the rotate video until your AVI file is properly oriented.

To make sure, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command: Rotate AVI video Drag your video to the timeline and select it. It is very popular and most likely already installed on your system, if you have any audio, video, and other multimedia relevant applications installed.
