Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 .....do so many pictures get reversed when they are put in computerized use???
Eyesa Horg Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 Probably taken with a phone that wasn't set to keep them straight. I found the option on mine once!!
Alpo Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 What I want to know is why so many videos on YouTube have the picture reversed. I'll be watching a short. It lasts maybe 45 seconds. It's got a uniform cop in it. And in that 45 second video the picture will flip four or five times. The cop will have the badge on the left side of his shirt then it'll be on the right side then it'll be back on the left side then I'll be on the right side. Or they'll be somebody shooting and he's shooting with his right hand then he's shooting with his left hand but he didn't switch hands because his badge is on the other side of his shirt. But that just seems to be in the shorts. If you're looking at an actual video, it's set correctly.
Dapper Dave Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 I think a lot of YT shorts are from movies where they don't want to pay royalties, so the images are reversed, or the audio sounds like the Chipmunks talking.
WD Farren Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 Reversed YouTube videos are super easy to identify. They play from End to Start when you click the button. 😁
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 If the poster is not the original owner it can lead to copyright problems, so they steal the video, reverse the presentation and now it becomes a “new” video to sidestep the issue. Same for the split screen version of videos where the one you want to see is put together with a second video of somebody working out in a gym or something. Or at least that’s what I was told.

PowderRiverCowboy Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 Stop taking so many bathroom mirror selfies
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 29, 2025 Posted July 29, 2025 Like Alpo, I have noticed a huge number of video presentations on You Tube are reversed. Really annoying. Of course, so are the "Click Bait" pieces with CGI/AI "Bait Pictures" of things (like cars) that don't actually exist. Just as annoying as Faque intro headers that have no actual content in the piece being presented. Caveat Emptor absolutely.
Dapper Dave Posted July 30, 2025 Posted July 30, 2025 Come to think of it, my ex-wife watched the entire run of EMERGENCY! on YT, and the video was set inside a video of water rippling, quite annoying. But she liked it.

THIS^^^^ I'm also seeing videos with multi-colored snow flakes moving across the screen. Before that it was videos with a horizontal line across them.
Alpo Posted July 30, 2025 Posted July 30, 2025 Pretty sure that the video in this thread has not been messed with in order to prevent being sued for copyright infringement. The guy appears to have made a video of himself and posted it. But unless the Marine Corps has started doing something seriously strange with their uniform, it's been flipped. Why?

Bring up the camera app and change to the lens facing you. Look close, the image is flipped left to right. Like a hand held mirror. Copyright infringement is another reason to flip the image, probably just a matter of time until tools can detect it.
Cypress Sun Posted July 30, 2025 Posted July 30, 2025 Been happening for quite some time now. Picture manipulation has been going on for years. William Bonney picture anyone?

Alpo Posted July 30, 2025 Posted July 30, 2025 Everybody, 100 years ago, knew that was a reverse picture. It's a tin type. All tin types are reversed. It's part of the way the pictures were made. As to the facing camera - maybe iPhones are different. But with my Android, if I put it on the facing camera and I hold it up to my face, it's like I'm looking in a mirror. I hold up my right hand and the guy I'm looking at is holding up his left hand. But I take the picture and the picture shows me holding up my right hand. I tried it with video to see if that did it differently. When I had the video on I just raised my right hand and waved at myself. It looks like I was waving with my left hand. Then I stopped recording and just opened the video. And I was waving with my right hand.

Dapper Dave Posted July 31, 2025 Posted July 31, 2025 Normal is boring, that's why Alpo is such a valued member.
