Topic: Mirror image / Flip video

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi all,

Working with a new venue whose video projector erroneously shows a "mirrored" version of the video feed. They seem to have no interest in fixing it, so I'm looking for an effect that can mirror-image / flip the video as it goes out to the screen.

Any sort of software solution to do this?

Thanks!

if the projector has a remote (and isn't ancient) you could probably change it through a menu setting. other than that i know i can flip an image horizontally with TellyVisuals but not sure if that's with the basic version or one of the fancier versions.
 
I think you can flip images in TellyVisuals as well.
 
TellyVisuals can flip the image horizontally but it's not really a 'true' mirror image. and if you're using scrolling text on screen with tellyvisuals it's still going to be mirrored with the projector showing it wrong
 
I'm on Mac, so TellyVisuals isn't an option.

The projector is ancient and it's apparently always been this way. The owner doesn't want to let me mess with it. At the end of the day it's not that big a deal I guess, it's just weird with all the text flipped. It feels like a "mirror" or "flip" plugin would be a given, but after going through the downloads area, I guess not.
 
Hahahaa! Yeah sorry @Wild
 
Just to set the record straight, this is using a copy of TV to flip the VDJ display horizontal and vertically. A normal TV layout is running underneath. So just made a copy of TellyVisuals.dll and called it flipped.dll. The flipped.dll has a layout with no panels. The background of the layout for flipped.dll is set to use the VDJ video as it's image and set to flip horizontally and vertically. Could have been set to just flip horizontally (mirrored) and not vertically or any combination.
 
Showing all variations of flip at the same time with a video playing and rotating (center panel).
 
Why not just change the settings on the projector (if you can reach it or use the remote) !?
 
 
GroovinDJ I found that yesterday! And while the utility works, it fails miserably for VDJ. It flips the ui of VDJ but leaves the video display as normal, haha. I literally LOL'd when I saw the effect.
 
Why dont you just tell your boss that you dont do videos, if they dont help you to setup the projector correct?
