Note: This week's Pick marks a change - the picks are no longer rated. Since pointing my relatives at TransformMovie, I've spent a lot less time rotating videos for them, and that's a good thing! While it's not free, $10 is much nicer than $30 for QuickTime Pro, and paying for any one of Limit Point's utilities gives you a license for all of their utilities. It's simple and fast, and works quite well. It will prompt for a destination (you can also set that in preferences), then apply your specified transformation.
Once you've set the preferences, you use TransformMovie by simply dragging and dropping video clips into its small window. (If you use anything other than 90-degree increments, TransformMovie adds a black frame around your video.) Still, if you always rotate your camera one direction, you'll only have to set this value once, so it's not too bad. While this works, I wish there were indicators on the slider for 90-degree increments, which would make these often-used values easier to find. To set the rotation angle, you move a slider anywhere from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. All of these values are set in the program's preferences. You can also scale them, preserve the date stamp, and optionally choose to overwrite the original movie. This simple app lets you rotate - in any increment of degrees that you like - movies, as well as flipping them horizontally and/or vertically. I figured there had to be a better solution, and after some web searching, I stumbled on TransformMovie. Can you use QuickTime Pro on it for me, and rotate it the way it's supposed to be?" So they'd then email me a large file, I'd take two seconds to rotate it in QuickTime Pro, save it, and email it back to them.

Without fail, every few weeks it seems I'd get an email or iChat from a relative that went something like this: "Hey, I just shot a QuickTime movie with my digital camera, but I did so with the camera rotated.
