Some were taken in landscape, others in portrait. I know, why didn't I just take them in landscape to begin with, right? Turns out, I'm not the only one who's come across this problem before. If you want to do this, basically convert your quicktime video into WMV format, then use Windows Movie Maker to rotate it 90 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdventuresInTheWorldOfBim/~3/U9tgjlO9cf0/rotating-video-taken-on-iphone-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Steve Bennett)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdventuresInTheWorldOfBim/~4/U9tgjlO9cf0" height="1" width="1"/>http://adventuresinbim.blogspot.com/2012/02/rotating-video-taken-on-iphone-in.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630535223606863563.post-8056036229823431635Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:53:00 +00002012-02-10T09:53:09.698-08:003d PrintingInstructablesObjetNow you have a chance to win an Objet 30 desktop 3D printer plus a 6 month supply of print material! http://www.instructables.com/contest/makeitreal The question is, what would you write an instructable for to print something in 3D?
