Software to do little editing on quicktime movie file?

[Mad]

I recorded my friends marriage with some non-professional digital camera (olympus stylus 710).
The output is fairly ok, but in one of the shots, i "rotated" the camera.

Now i need to "rotate" the video back again to the normal position.
Any easy way to do it?

I dont have Mac to use iMovies. I heard Adobe Premiere could do it, but i never dealed with that program before.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Nothing Virtualdub + the deshaker video filter (tweaked) couldnt handle nicely.

Just make sure to use a recent virtualdub and select the range where you want the modification to be done. After that, recompress it to divx or whatever.

VirtualDub doesnt open .mov files...
Any other tip?

EDIT: With Quicktime Pro, can i export the .mov files to mpg or dvix?

'course it doesn't. If you're not familiar with AVIsynth, this converts to AVI.
Yes, Quicktime Pro can convert to AVI, just choose hiquality video and audio codecs.

In case more is needed, you might want to hit the Doom9.net forums, they rule real badly. Just explain clearly, they 're likely to know better ways of doing it.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 now has functionality to edit videos but you need Quicktime installed. The problem no matter what software that you use is that when you rotate the image, it leaves diagonal empty spaces. The only way to fix that is to crop the image to seclude the image, which will make it smaller than the rest of the frames in the video, you may have to crop the entire video just to compensate for those few rotated frames so it wouldn't look odd. A way to avoid cropping is by filling in the diagonal blank spaces by compositing parts of the scene in those blank areas, which may be a tedious and difficult process.

Such a high loss in picture details would be unacceptable for anyone.

Perspective correction should handle this pretty well, rotate the vid in acceptable frame range. One only has to keep it inside the current frame or within acceptable bounds.

Also, canvas would need to be expanded to avoid details loss. This isnt practical with videos.

Ah this is becoming way too dificult.
Ill just handle the video the way it is...
