Today with so many of us using our digital cameras to shoot short video segments, it's especially easy to forget that we're dealing with videos and turn the camera on its side for a portrait orientation. Unfortunately, most video programs are not set up to handle portrait video. The video ends up displaying on its side. QuickTime Pro makes it easy to recover from this kind of shooting calamity and restore the orientation you intended. Here's a gallery showing you how.

If you don't uncheck "Preserve aspect ratio" in step 4 (Visual Settings) the image will be stretched. At least is was for me. I unchecked the box and it was fine.

It's a nice way to rotate videos; however, I must point out that if the video is multiplexed with the audio (such is the case with the videos recorded using former models of HP Photosmart cameras), exporting the final, rotated video will send out only the video stream, omitting the sound entirely, no matter the export format. A way to deal with this is to use MPEG Streamclip to demux the files, then rotate and export the video, and finally merge the two distinct files into one again using QT Pro.
If anybody else has a better idea, please say so:)
