Hi I have many pictures and some videos. I now wish to edit and am finding it
difficult to do.

Specifically I wish to turn some of my photos and videos upright.
When viewed as they are,
they are sideways on, and upside down etc. This is because when taking the
images I have sometimes held the camera in such a way as to "landscape" and
other times to "portrait" Any help appreciated.

All image software has facility to rotate, but you don't specify the format
of image
nor the software you are using?
So just as an example, lets assume the image is a jpeg,
Open Paint
Click: Edit/Paste from
browse and select the jpeg
With the jpeg in Paint, RIGHT click on image and select "Flip/Rotate"
Select the angle etc
And in Paint you can preform other simple editing aswell.
But all imaging/editing software has this facility.

=============================
In Movie Maker...go to "Effects" and
scroll down to "Rotate"...drag/drop the
required effect on the clip that needs
to be rotated.

Or...right click the clip that needs to be
rotated...choose...Video Effects / Scroll
down and select the required effect /
left click the Add button / OK.
