Thanks Chris,
That was pretty straightforward. Just one question. When it renders,
where does it put the result? I was not given am opportunity to select a
file/directory.

Hi Ian
I've been editing videos for over 10 years now, and up until quite
recently,
only on Windows-based software. However, there are a number of
excellent Non-
Linear Editors (NLE) that have come of age... but PiTiVi isn't one of
them!
To be fair, it's only a basic program, and may have already reached its
potential!
I recommend using Kdenlive, which although a native KDE application,
will work
fine on Ubuntu. It's fairly straightforward to use if you've had some
experience with NLE's, but you might be a bit lost with the interface
because
it is more complex than PiTiVi.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download and install Kdenlive using the Ubuntu software centre,
Synaptic or
from the commandline: sudo apt-get install kdenlive.
2. Kdenlive will startup with a few questions regarding defaults -
best just
to select PAL 4:3 or 16:9 as default - depends on the aspect ratio of the
original video clip.
3. You should be on the main editing screen now. In the top left pane
is a
area labeled "Project Tree". Right-click in the empty space and select
"Import Clip" and then select the clip with the problem.
4. Once the clip is imported, you will see it appear in the Project Tree
window. Now, drag the clip onto the first video track. You should be
able to
play the video using the controls in the top-right.
5. Select the clip in Video 1 track by right clicking on it. Select "Add
Video Effect" from the drop down menu, and then "Rotate and Shear"
from the
sub-menu".
6. This will open the rotate control box. Depending upon which way
your video
was shot, the value for X needs to be either 900 or -900 (90degs)
which should
then appear on the project window the right way up.
7. Click on the red "Render" button at the top, and this will give you
a whole
host of output formats. Choose the one which is most applicable (it's
easier
to use the existing format, so this will probably be an MPEG4 codec if
done on
a iPhone, but you could use any other listed.
8. The project will now re-render the video using the correct
orientation, and
you can continue editing as you were.
I'm conscious that this may sound easier than it is (or maybe these
instructions scare you!), but if you need any further advice or help,
then
just ask away!

I am helping a friend make a music video and I am using Pitivi on my
Ubuntu
box to put it together.
One segment of film was made on an iPhone. That in itself is not a
problem;
I have the video and can play and edit it. The thing is, the film was
shot
with the iPhone in landscape orientation and being smart it rotated the
video shown on the screen as it was taken so it looked the right way up.
Unfortunately it was not smart enough to actually record it that way.
the
result is the video needs to be rotated through 90 degrees. Anyone
know of
a Linux application that can do this?
