How to flip reversed iphone footage on fcpx -

To flip reversed iPhone footage (e.g., mirrored or upside-down) in Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), follow these steps:

🔄 1. Flip Horizontally (Mirror Flip)

If your footage is mirrored (common with front-facing camera selfies):

Select the Clip in the timeline.
Go to the Inspector (right sidebar).
Under Transform, set Scale X to -100.
This mirrors the footage horizontally.

🔃 2. Flip Vertically (Upside-Down Fix)

If your footage is upside-down:

In the Inspector, under Transform, set Rotation to 180°.
OR
Set Scale Y to -100 to flip vertically (though rotation is often better for upside-down correction).

🧠 Bonus Tip: Create a Custom Effect

If you need to fix this often:

Save a flipped version as a compound clip or create a custom preset.
Name it something like “iPhone Fix” for easy reuse.
