I have recorded a video on my iPhone, (in a portrait position) unfortunately when I upload this onto Replay, it changes the video to Landscape, but the images are now wrong. What is the solution for rotating a iphone video recording? Thank you
Sorry you've run into this issue with video orientation in Replay! It happens based on how a video that's recorded on a mobile device usually contains "rotation metadata" which looks something similar to this.
The rotation metadata represents degrees, and has four possible values: 0, 90, 180 and 270. This data is used by applications such as Replay to display the video the way it was shot, Portrait or Landscape. However, some applications such as Windows Media Player ignores this metadata and plays portrait videos as landscape.
The most effective way of fixing this is by re-encoding the video files using Storyline. Storyline can rotate video files and re-encode them during publishing. Just create a new SL project and insert the video files - each video files should have their own individual slide. Then, edit the videos to rotate them, then publish the project to Web or publish for MP4 (if using Storyline 360). If you publish to Web you can then copy the media files from the published output folder (story_content).
Are you running into trouble with videos in Storyline? If you can share a bit more detail on what you need help with, happy to point you in the right direction! Let me know what version of Storyline you're using too - and .story files, screenshots, etc. are always welcome to help paint a picture of what you need!
Hi all, here is a little gif showing you what to do. You don't need to rotate the image, you just need to let storyline add a little info (metadata) telling replay what way is up
