How to rotate video

Sign in — 500 free credits a month.
Drop the video in the workbench.
Run it and download the MP4.

What happens to your file

Every frame is turned by the angle you chose and re-encoded as H.264 in a faststart MP4; the width and height swap for a quarter turn. Players that ignore a phone’s rotation flag now see it upright. The sound is untouched.

Media processing costs real compute per minute, so it runs against your own credits, the first 500 each month free.

Questions

Why does my phone video look right on the phone but sideways elsewhere?

The phone wrote a rotation flag some players ignore. Rotating here bakes the turn into the frames.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — free What it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "video.convert",
    "options": {
      "rotate": 90
    }
  }'

The same operation, video.convert — Anything playable becomes H.264+AAC in a faststart MP4 — or, by `container`, MOV, MKV, VP9+Opus WebM, or Xvid+MP3 AVI for old players. Plus the small edits: mute, rotate, flip, speed (the sound keeps its pitch), reverse (60 s at most), loop. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
