AVI Files imported into Premiere are upside and horizontally flipped
I am currently working on a project with my boss, using Onlocation and a Panasonic HVX200 camera. For some strange reason, when I load the AVI files that Onlocation creates into Premiere, the clips are not only upside down but also flipped horizontally. (As if it were a reflection in a mirror.)
I then have to import these files into After Effects to fix this, and it seems that my computer is the only that has this issue.
Now I have just opened a packaged project file that my boss has made, and the footage in it is also flipped upside down and mirrored. (These are also AVI files.)
I’m wondering if perhaps my version of Premiere might have a preset configuration for imported AVI files, that may have been configured wrong at some point, resulting in premiere importing them flipped and upside down.
Has anyone else had this issue? And if so, have you found a way to get around it, without having to use AE, or another program to fix it?
(I realize this question is about Premiere AND Onlocation, I apologize for this, in case it’s breaking posting rules.)
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

Wierd!!
You can rotate the video 180′ (Motion) and flip it horizontally (Horizontal flip) as a workaround in Premiere. -

Thanks for the swift responses.
Yes I should have mentioned that I have also been using Premiere to flip them back to normal, however, it’s quite a pain to get a nearly fully cut video in a project file from my boss and find all the clips are upside down and flipped, while all the text and pictures and everything else is normal. (The video is also normal on his machine.)
Thank you for the suggestion though.The codec is what seems to be the problem, and now I guess it’s a matter of finding a download link for it.
Thanks for the help, both of you.
