Step 3: Vertically Flip Video using FFmpeg
To vertically flip a video using ffmpeg, you can use the vflip filter:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "vflip" output.mp4
This will:
- Take input.mp4 as input
- Apply the vflip filter, which flips the video vertically
- Save the resulting flipped video as output.mp4
Some examples:
- Flip video right-side up if inverted:
ffmpeg -i inverted.mp4 -vf "vflip" rightsideup.mp4
Flip specific section only:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "trim=end=10,vflip[flipped];[0:v][flipped]concat" -c:a copy output.mp4
Flips the first 10 seconds.
So in summary, the vflip filter provides an easy way to vertically flip video using FFmpeg.
