How to rotate video an arbitray amount

[GregSmithUK]

I've seen the instructions for rotating a video by an arbitrary amount and I've found the rotation setting in the Preferences file. I have located the "Video Effects" window but there is no option to rotate a video by anything other than a fixed amount such as 90, 180 or 270 degrees. How do I rotate my video by, say, 30 deg? I'm on an Intel Mac with OS 10.6.8 and have version 2.1.5 of VLC

Greg, this is not a criticism; I'm intrigued by your point, and have to ask this: Why do you want to play videos at odd angles? Do you want to embed videos into presentations, for example? I'm only asking because of never having seen a video which needs anything other than flipping about vertical and/or horizontal axes, or rotating through ±90º or 180º.

Thanks.

There is no GUI on VLC for Mac to do this, sorry. This is supported on Windows and Linux.

Hi

I was looking for this answer also, the videos are not watched per say by me, we need angle to correct uploader placement that skewed the video,
thank you for having this here,
i use vlc on multi platforms, too bad the mac os version is limited in such minor attributes,
i have had vlc since , well long ago, i live by it, it is awesome
