Here is a tutorial for an older version, but the new version should be very similar. The current version is VSP X6 and it's available for $69USD. The least expensive video editor which I'm fairly certain can do this is Corel VideoStudio Pro (VSP). I may have somehow changed the settings between encodesĬan anyone shed some light on this? She's in another country and has limited internet access, so I can't just brute-force the problem by sending a bunch of slightly different encodes hoping that one will work.If I understand you correctly you have a video which was shot using a smart phone, or similar device, in a vertical/portrait orientation, which does not correctly rotate when you post the video to SmugMug? If this is a correct understanding of the problem then I believe what you need is an advanced video editor which can rotate and letterbox the video into a standard horizontal/landscape aspect ratio. I only resized the first source video, while I also had to rotate the second The filename of the first video starts with a letter, the other two start with numbers The sound settings are different for all three videos The only things that I can think of that between the first file and the other two are that: For the second attempt at the second video, I put the sound back in at 56kbps, but no dice. I'm pretty sure all the other setting were set up exactly the same, but this video wouldn't play on her phone.

The second video needed to be rotated as well as resized, and I also decided to save a bit of file size by omitting the sound track.

The first video worked fine, just used Avidemux to downscale the source and encode in x264 with AAC audio.
