changing orientation of video clip

[Shirley]

I accidently took a video clip with my digital camera and was holding the
camera in the portrait position. Now when the video plays, it's sideways.
Is there anyway to change the orientation like you do on photos?

=============================
You fail to include the format of the
clip but if it is .avi or .mpg you can
open it in Movie Maker, drag it to
the timeline... and use the Rotate
Effect to rotate it.

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:
