Can VLC Media Player Flip and Mirror Videos?
Currently, video flipping feature is absent from VLC media player. If you want to flip and mirror your video, many online video tools can be your silver bullet. Among them, clideo.com enables you to flip and mirror video of almost any format, be it MP4, MOV, H264, MKV, HEVC, etc. Just load your video file and then tap the "Flip" option (shown as below). You can keep your original video format or choose another format at the lower left corner of the webpage. It supports 23 video output formats for you to choose from.
Certainly, online video flip tool is not perfect. When you upload large-sized video or hi-def video like 4K, the uploading process would become damn slow. For those who wanna flip and mirror 4K, 2K large-sized videos, you can try Winxvideo AI, which allows you to mirror videos, rotate videos, convert and compress videos, as well as record screen videos at GPU hardware accelerated 5X faster speed.
