  @CubeAce Hi Ray, I think that the anchor point movement/kf effect is separate from the rotation XYZ series. The anchor point is what they will rotate about. I discussed quite a while back in another thread what the XYZ rotations do. Try this. With

  RE: MTS Video Rotated After Save and Close / Open
  @johnebaker Do you see the issue in MEP 2021 with the rotation controls - this normally appears when using mobile phone video recorded in portrait mode and has a rotation flag set ? John, it seems to be working OK here. I've added a portrait video,

  Resize about centre, move anchor point to upper left, rotate. I succeeded but the anchor point is always in the upper left, even though I managed to get the image to zoom in about its centre. So, don't ask how as I still don't understand. John CB

  Update on the issue - it's 100% a MEP "weakness". The work around is sort of like a math problem, (Order of Operations). First start a new TL with the "Problem" video - edit / save / close / open - (WOW the video didn't rotate!). Then to that new TL

  @CubeAce Hi Ray . . . . However, is that the job of the Position box instead as that resets to center. . . . IMO is is the anchor point that should move not the image - consider the case of wanting to reset the anchor point back to the centre of the
