Are you looking for a way to flip a video on iPhone or iPad, then look no further as that is exactly what we are going to show you in this guide.
Recording videos on iPhone or even iPad has many benefits. While it is an undeniable fact that iPhones are excellent video recording devices, the video editing tools that are available in the first-party Photos app make the whole process even better.
A few years ago users needed to download third-party apps in order to make small changes to their iPhone videos. However that has changed over the past few years with the introduction of some amazing editing features that are found right inside Photos app.
One such tool allows users to flip a video on iPhone. Users can flip the video that was recorded right on their iPhone as well as videos that they have downloaded.
When you flip the video the iPhone will turn it 90 degrees. You can also call it mirroring of the video, as the final version of a flipped video will look like a mirrored version of the original.
Video footage recorded with iPhone’s front facing camera can also be flipped using these instructions. By flipping front facing camera’s video you can achieve a more natural looking look for your video.
