How to rotate video

  1. Sign in — 500 free credits a month.
  2. Drop the video in the workbench.
  3. 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 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, or VP9+Opus WebM. 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.
