Hi all,

I'm quite new to using AE 7 Pro but i've had an issue since i started using it a couple of months ago. Everytime i import footage either by copying and pasting from premier pro 2 or dragging into the project folder, it appears upside down and flipped left to right? Has anyone experienced this? If so how do i stop it please?

Many Thanks, Dink

Don't know why it might be happening but you could always rotate your clip by 180 degrees to cure it.

Hi Alan, thanks for the reply i've been doing that but it also flips the footage left to right and i don't know how to flip it back.

OK. a misunderstanding here. I thought if it was flipped vertically and horizontally then that's the same as a rotation. So if you rotate then the left is on the right eh?

Then all you need do is find the vertical flip effect. I'm sure there is one. If not use a corner pin.

Although thinking about it I'm not sure if this is fixing a sympton or the cause tbh. If you C&P from Premiere and get this and 'fix' it in AE then presumably when it goes back to premiere the porblem starts again?
