Rotate or flip a clip

I need the clip rotated 90 degrees clockwise and flipped horizontally so it reads correctly on Instagram Stories. Before you export, check the edges for black bars and crop to full-screen if needed. Send the rotated file to Maya in the social team by Thursday for schedule approval.

Before I hand this to the social editor, make the rotation and flip obvious to a reviewer: show a quick before-and-after thumbnail, note the original orientation and the new one, and flag any parts that might be cropped out. If the flip inverts text or logos, call that out so ops can approve or ask for a re-record.

We just rotated and flipped a product clip and the overlaid headline is now mirrored. Maya on social will reject mirrored text, and I cannot re-record. What is the safest fix that preserves composition and still meets Thursday’s publish? I can retime, replace the title card, or crop—what likely works and how risky is each?

On three recent shoots we’ve had clips shot in the wrong orientation and the team fixes them in editing, wasting time and creating awkward crops. What process or checklist would stop orientation mistakes before handoff to editing and save reviewers from late cosmetic reworks?
