How to Rotate YouTube Videos at Any Angle Online Quickly

Video editing is all about adjusting every frame to make sure it looks perfect. Though you’ll need different elements to perfect your footage, a common feature that you might end up needing is ‘rotate video tools.’

And if you think video rotation is a complicated task, you’re in for a surprise because today, we will show you how to rotate YouTube videos in minutes using Typito.

On Typito you can easily rotate a video clip or an image overlay in any one of these directions:

• Clockwise direction
• Counterclockwise direction

Rotation is defined as a change in the orientation, depending on these angles:

• 90° clockwise rotation
• 90° counterclockwise rotation
• 180° rotation
• 270°clockwise rotation
• 270° counterclockwise rotation
• 360° rotation

Keep in mind that rotating a video or specific frames of a video will not affect or change its size.

On the other hand, Counterclockwise Rotations follow the path in the opposite direction and are represented by positive numbers. As the name implies, Clockwise Rotations follow the path of a clock’s hand and are represented by negative numbers.

Now that you have understood the angles associated with the rotation types let’s get started with rotating a YouTube video on Typito.
