ROTATE EMBEDDED VIDEO(YOUTUBE)

[CYBERCULTURE]

Any hint on how to rotate an embedded youtube video at a specific angle for example 45 degrees?
I am interested to rotate the video and the timebar,controls etc.

any hint highly appreciated.

I'd go for the Matrix filter to do it in IE:

For other browsers that support CSS 3, you could use this:

For all other browsers, you would probably require a custom-rolled video player that could accept the rotation angle as a parameter.

I could be wrong, but it's not the sort of thing most users would want, which is why I'm guessing it's not the sort of thing you see being commonly built into 'standard' players.

Note: I haven't tried rotating any applet / Flash / ActiveX controls using the above methods... you might find they work in one browser but not another, so test well

Hope this helps,

Looks like my disclaimer was spot on - I don't think you can rotate Flash movies. I've got the iframe to rotate, but not the Flash movie inside it.

Perhaps rolling your own custom Flash video player and doing the rotation in Flash itself is the best way to go.

I have very little experience in flash...do you think it is possible to embed in flash then rotate the entire scene or just the embedded video and export as a swf?thanks in advance for any answer..

I'd ask that one in forum250.
