How to flip a video
First, start a Create project and add your video (or image) to the project's media library, then:
1. Drag and drop the video or image into the timeline
If it's not already there, drag and drop the video or image from the media library into the timeline at the bottom of your project.
2. Click on the clip in the timeline to select it
The clip will be outlined when selected, and a Transform menu will appear in the top left of the editor window.
3. In the Transform menu, click the icons under the heading FLIP
You will see a FLIP section on the right side of the Transform menu, as shown here:
In this section, click the Horizontal icon if you would like to flip the video horizontally.
Click Vertical if you would like to flip the video vertically.
NOTE: You can also rotate videos and images 90° or 180° by using the ROTATE arrows in the same menu.
4. Close the Transform window
Once you are finished adjusting, close the Transform menu by clicking the X in the top right.
5. Save your final video
If you're finished editing and would like to save the video or videos in your timeline to your computer, click the Export video button in the top right. For more information see: exporting your video.

Undoing a change
You can return the video or image to its original state at any time by selecting it in the timeline and clicking the horizontal or vertical icon again in the menu.
