Class VideoEffectFlipHorizontal

Namespace: VisioForge.Core.Types.VideoEffects

Assembly: VisioForge.Core.dll

Represents a horizontal flip effect that mirrors the video image along the vertical axis.

public class VideoEffectFlipHorizontal : VideoEffect, IVideoEffectFlipDown, IVideoEffect

Remarks

SDK Availability: Video Capture SDK .NET (Classic)

Platform: Windows only (DirectShow-based)

This classic effect flips (mirrors) the video horizontally, creating a left-right mirror image. The right side of the image becomes the left side and vice versa. This is commonly called "horizontal flip" or "mirror horizontally" and is useful for correcting mirror-reversed video or creating symmetrical visual effects.

The horizontal flip effect is commonly used for:

Webcam Correction: Many webcams produce mirror-reversed images that need flipping
Screen Recording: Correct horizontally flipped screen captures
Creative Effects: Create mirror symmetry or unusual perspectives
Text Correction: Fix reversed text in video
Camera Orientation: Correct video from incorrectly mounted cameras

This is a Windows-only DirectShow filter effect. For cross-platform flip and rotation, use VisioForge.Core.Types.X.VideoEffects.FlipRotateVideoEffect from the Media Blocks SDK which supports multiple platforms and provides more transformation options.

Performance: Real-time capable with minimal overhead. Simple geometric transformation.

Related Effects: See also VisioForge.Core.Types.VideoEffects.VideoEffectFlipVertical for vertical flipping, VisioForge.Core.Types.VideoEffects.VideoEffectMirrorHorizontal (note: naming may refer to same or related operation), and VisioForge.Core.Types.VideoEffects.VideoEffectMirrorVertical for mirror effects.

Note: The original code comment says "Flip down effect" but the class name and type suggest horizontal flipping. This may be a documentation error in the original code.
