Rotate comp
Is it possible to rotate a composition in After Effects like it is possible to Rotate Canvas in PhotoShop?
I am videotaping with my camera tilted at 90 degrees and I want to be able to rotate the footage back to “normal” in After Effects.
I tried resizing the comp by swapping the horizontal and vertical values, then rotating the clp, but this distorts (scews) the clip.BTW, how to prevent clips form getting distorted and scwashed when we import them ina a composition?

It seems that my troubles were caused by the shape of the pixels.
Just what I suspected.
Now, when I have switched all the layers to “Square pixels” they do indeed preserve their aspect ratio when I am rotating them in the comp.They used to stretch and distort before I set them all to “Square”.

So it sounds like essentially you can’t rotate a composition like rotating a canvas.
I have to make an entire animation sideways for output, but I was hoping I could do it all the right way up and then just rotate the composition. But I have to do it manually for every layer it’s almost not worth it. Plus it won’t rotate the keyframes with it.

Though, thinking about it… I suppose you could just precomp it all the then open it up in another and rotate the precomp.
