The flipping left to right is done for maintaining orientation while filming. It may or may not be unflipped when it's saved.
AI says:
Your phone video is flipped left to right for the exact same reason as photos: to mimic a mirror so you can easily frame yourself while recording.Mirroring in Live Video vs. Recorded VideoThe Live Feed: While you are actively recording, the camera software mirrors your movement in real-time. If it did not mirror your reflection, moving your right arm would cause your image on screen to move on the left, making it very difficult to stay in the center of the frame.The Saved Video: Most smartphones automatically "unflip" the video once it is saved. This ensures that any background text reads correctly and that you appear exactly as you do to another person looking at you.Why Video Appears Flipped in Third-Party AppsIf you notice that your final videos stay flipped, it is usually due to the app you are using:Built-in Camera Apps: These almost always unflip the video automatically after saving.Social Media Apps (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat): These apps often save the video exactly as you saw it on the screen (mirrored) to preserve the aesthetic you intended while filming.
