Let me show you how:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Animaker\u2019s <\/span>Video Flipper<\/span> and click the <\/span>Start Flipping<\/span><\/i> button.
    \n\"Open
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n

    \n\"Click
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Now click the <\/span>Download<\/span><\/i> button in the top right corner to start processing the video. Once done, you can download it to your local computer.<\/span><\/span>\"Click<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s that simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Are you a mac user? Below, we show you how you can use a preinstalled mac app to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How to Flip a Video on Mac using Quicktime Player<\/span><\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re using Mac OS, you can use Quicktime player<\/a> to flip your video. You probably already use it to play videos or record your screen<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>The following steps show you how to flip using Quicktime player:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the video you want to flip using Quicktime player.
      \n\"Open
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Go to the \u201cedit\u201d menu in the app\u2019s menu bar and select <\/span>Flip Horizontal<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>Flip Vertical<\/span><\/i> from the drop down menu.
      \n\"Go
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Save the flipped video by hitting Command + S or go to the file menu in the menu bar and select <\/span>Save<\/span><\/i> from the dropdown menu.
      \n<\/span><\/span>\"save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And you\u2019re done! Did you know that there\u2019s another way to do this on Mac? We show you how in the following section.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Flip using iMovie on Mac<\/span><\/h2>\n

      You can use iMovie<\/a>, a preinstalled Mac app, to flip your video. If you aren\u2019t familiar with the tool, I\u2019d suggest you use Quicktime Player instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

      To <\/span>flip your video vertically<\/b>, follow the below steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Add the video to your timeline and select it. You\u2019ll know it\u2019s been selected if it\u2019s highlighted in yellow.
        \n\"Import<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Click the <\/span>Cropping<\/span><\/i> button above the Viewer panel, and click on one of the rotate buttons twice to flip it vertically (as shown in the screenshot below).
        \n\"Click
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Here\u2019s how to to <\/span>flip your video horizontally<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Select your video from the timeline and click on the <\/span>Clip filter and audio effects<\/span><\/i> button above the Viewer panel.
          \n\"Click
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. From the <\/span>Choose Clip Filter<\/span><\/i> window, pick the <\/span>Flipped<\/span><\/i> clip filter as shown in the screenshot above.
          \n\"Pick
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          As you can see, using iMovie isn\u2019t the easiest way. You could opt to go with the first two methods if you\u2019re not a user, or if you find it difficult to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Are you using Windows OS? Below, we show you how you can flip using a preinstalled Windows software.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Flip using Windows Movie Maker on Windows OS\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Windows Movie Maker is primarily used to edit films and commercial videos. You\u2019re better off using tools on your browser that are specifically built to address this one goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

          However, if you\u2019re an existing user, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Open Movie Maker and import the video you wish to flip.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Go to the <\/span>Visual Effects<\/span><\/i> tab and scroll down to the <\/span>Mirror<\/span><\/i> section. Now, choose <\/span>Mirror Vertical<\/span><\/i> to flip it vertically, or pick <\/span>Mirror Horizontal<\/span><\/i> to flip it horizontally as shown in the screenshot below.
            \n\"Go
            \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
