Description

It appears if you shoot a clip while the overlay is "upside down" the clip will appear upside down in the exported video. (It is possible these clips will appear upside down even if shot only from the camera app, but "upside down." There's no need for the accelerometer to assign this data, unless it will be used to inform the user how to shoot differently.

If you either import clips shot at different orientations, or shoot them inside of storymaker at different orientations the clips, when exported by StoryMaker will have clips be upside down in the finished file. Another way of saying it is, whatever magic interpreting that is happening inside of the gallery to know that the content I shoot with the camera is all displaying with the right orientation does not get applied to the FFMPEG encoding process, so some videos that should be flipped are not, and thus appear upside down.

This is a complex bug, but something to definitely be on our radar.

This bug is annoying. it should be fixed. Videos shot in StoryMaker or in the camera app, with the "bottom" of the device to the left will export upside down. They play back fine on the Order screen, and in the device's gallery, however after exporting they play upside down and remain upside down in all orientations.

Please let me know what additional feedback you need.

Looking at the stories from Brian's phone I think StoryMaker doesn't know to account for the rotation variable, and therfore doesn't give them all the same rotation, that is rotating all the videos to be pointing up as part of the rendering process.

Just my 2 cents.
