Ed,
I sure recommend getting Vegas + DVD not just Vegas.
You won't regret it.

Even if you don't use it much. It is fantastic to have such
a great program at hand.
It will become useful for audio as well. Sony takes video and sound very serious.

With Vegas you can do whatever your little heart desires with that video. If not...
RTFM.

Let's say you have a 720p video from your phone.

Let's say you have Vegas.

Create a new project with custom parameters rather than a preset.

Set the project dimensions to 720 wide x 1280 high.

Import the video. Find a rotate function... which I assume Vegas has becasue every other video editor does.

Rotate the video.

Export (re -render) the video.



Done.




I do stuff like then when using video snippets for composting layers of motion picture visual effects... I rarely export "vertical" video for final output but I use rendered clips like this within a compositor (After Effects) and it works good.

The thing you have to do is get beyond the preset project and export parameters and use custom dimensions and some programs hide these to make stuff seem easier for routine users.


best regards,
mike

wait - what's the difference between "vegas" and "vegas + DVD"?
 
do you mean DVD Architect?  if so, yes, I have that as well.  it came with my copy of vegas, actually.

Sorry, I was on the phone. 


with Mooch?  pfft.  like that counts. 

Actually Philz. Now that does count.

I don't know...can't tell what version that is and I stopped at 8.
If you go with an older version at least get 8.

Here's 11.

$600.

Uh, read the OP..... 

 How can I flip it (on the cheap)?

When I stopped updating Reece they named with a "+"  to include DVD Architect...apparently
now they don't.
 
I need to upgrade mine. Looks like they've made many good changes since 8.

On the cheap would be to the the Windows Live Movie Maker, it's free.

I hate to screw up my reputation with actual help, but here's how you do it using FREE, Microsoft software that used to come with windows.  Find out how to get it HERE.   Then use it to rotate your video 90 degrees.

I had to do this with one of the videos for our website.
