How to mirror a video for a dance tutorial
- Step 1Drop your video — Drop your video and pick the axis
- Step 2Select flip direction(s) — JAD applies hflip or vflip in a single filter pass
- Step 3Download the corrected video — Download the mirrored result
Frequently asked questions
Why does my selfie camera footage appear mirrored?+
Most front-facing cameras display a mirror preview (horizontally flipped) so you see yourself as you would in a mirror. On Android, the recorded file is often saved as the mirrored preview, resulting in text and surroundings appearing backwards in the recording. iOS records the true (non-mirrored) orientation. If your video has backwards text or wrong-way orientation, apply horizontal flip to correct it.
Does flipping require a full re-encode?+
Yes — unlike lossless trim and split (which use stream-copy), flip operations must process each frame through the vflip/hflip filter and re-encode the output. This adds processing time compared to stream-copy operations. The audio track is copied without modification. Use a high CRF value (CRF 18–22 for H.264) to maintain quality through the encode.
Can I flip only a portion of the video?+
JAD currently applies the flip transform to the entire clip. If you only need to flip a segment, trim the segment first using the lossless trimmer, then flip it, and merge it back with the surrounding footage using the video merger. This multi-step approach provides full control over which sections are flipped.
