Input file requirements for video rotation

You can use rotation for inputs that have the following video characteristics:

  • Progressive video

  • Chroma subsampling scheme 4:2:2 or 4:2:0

In addition to the general input restrictions for the rotate feature, to use automatic rotation your input file must conform to these limitations:

  • Input container: .mov or .mp4

  • Rotation metadata specifying 90, 180, or 270-degree rotation

    If your rotation metadata is within one degree less or more than the values listed here, the service will round to a supported value.

Note

If your input file has rotation metadata that specifies a rotation other than those listed here, the service defaults to no rotation.
