Video rotation in CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK) allows you to adjust the orientation of video elements by rotating them clockwise or counter-clockwise. This transformation is essential for correcting video orientation, creating dynamic compositions, or achieving specific visual effects in your video projects.
You can rotate videos both through the built-in user interface and programmatically using the SDK’s APIs, providing flexibility for different workflow requirements.

Rotation Methods#
CE.SDK supports several approaches to video rotation:
- Freeform Rotation: Rotate videos to any angle using precise degree or radian values
- UI Rotation Handles: Interactive rotation controls in the editor interface
- Snap Rotation: Quick rotation to common angles (90°, 180°, 270°)
- Group Rotation: Rotate multiple elements together while maintaining their relative positions
Applying Rotations#
UI-Based Rotation#
You can rotate videos directly in the CE.SDK user interface using rotation handles. Users can drag the rotation handle to freely rotate videos or use snap points for common orientations, making it easy to adjust video orientation visually.
Programmatic Rotation#
Developers can apply rotations programmatically, using the SDK’s API. This allows for precise rotation control, automated orientation corrections, and integration with custom user interfaces or application logic.
Combining with Other Transforms#
Video rotation works seamlessly with other transformation operations like scaling, cropping, and flipping. You can chain multiple transformations to create complex visual effects while maintaining video quality and performance.
