Part 1 How to Convert FLAC to MP3 (Fast & Brilliant Way)
As promised, we’ll be starting this off with a general tutorial that you can refer to when using the converters that we’ve listed below! The tool that we will be using for this step-by-step breakdown is an online FLAC Converter called FreeConvert. We did not include it on our list just to make sure that you have the most options possible, but it definitely deserves a spot of its own, since it is a free FLAC converter as well.
01Step 1: Open FLAC Converter!
To start things off, you need to either launch (if it’s software) or open (a.i., open the website for an online converter) your chosen FLAC Converter.
Once you’ve got your FLAC Converter all revved up. The first true step is the ‘UPLOAD’ step. This is when you use the upload features provided to prepare the FLAC audio that you want to convert.
For the tool we use for our example, you can do it in one of two ways:
● Upload Manually: Either from your device, from Dropbox, from Google Drive, or through a URL link.
● Drag-and-Drop: Simply drag and then drop the FLAC audio for conversion.
Here’s a link to FreeConvert in case you wanted to try it out for yourself:
02Step 2: Confirm Output Format!
For our example, we’ll be converting from FLAC to MP3. And so, when prompted to choose the desired output format, we choose “MP3”!
(Most converters will have multiple audio file formats and video file formats that you can convert to if you want to do something completely different — as is shown below):
03Step 3: (Optional) Advanced Settings
Before finishing up, you might want to explore the extra advanced settings offered by your chosen FLAC Converter! Each one will have different features.
FreeConvert, as an example, will allow you to adjust volume, add fade-in, add fade-out, reverse audio, and, even, trim audio before conversion! All you have to do to access these functions is to click the “SETTINGS” icon (pointed out in the image).
04Step 4: Convert FLAC to MP3
To initiate the actual conversion with FreeConvert, all you really need to do is click the ‘Convert to MP3’ button. Other FLAC converters, while not the same, should be similar.
05Step 5: Download Converted FLAC Audio!
Finally, when the conversion has been completed, select the ‘Download MP3’ button to save your converted audio to your PC! That’s it, you’re done!

How to Flip Video Quickly and Easily
Ollie Mattison
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
It’s very common that you filmed some amazing portrait or landscape videos but in the wrong direction. This is an error made by many people because not everyone will always think about orientation when filming. Is there an easy way to flip/rotate videos so that you can watch them without turning your head sideways?
What you need is just an ease to use video editor like Wondershare Filmora to flip/rotate your video clips easily and quickly. This application offers a remarkably easy way to flip videos clockwise or anticlockwise, horizontal or vertical.

First, please download Filmora X for free as per your operating system, and then follow the steps below.

2. Flip the Whole Video
Then double click the video in the timeline to access the editing panel. In the window that appears, switch to Video tab and you will find Transform option located on the top.
Click on the Transform to expand the four options including Rotate, Flip, Scale and Position. To get the effect you need, you can adjust the Rotate and Flip settings and check the real-time effect in the previewing window. Though only four buttons available, you can create more options by using them together.
- Rotate: rotate video at any angle by entering the angle value or moving the Rotate slide: rotate 90° clockwise & anti-clockwise, rotate at 180°, rotate 270°, and more
- Flip: Flip video horizontally, i.e. flip video left to right; flip video vertically that is fliping video upside down
- You can combine Rotate and Flip feature to flip video vertically and rotate 90°clockwise or flip video vertically and rotate 90°counterclockwise.
Besides, you can also change the video position and the video scale. This is the step of flips the whole part of the video.
3. Flip Only a Part of the Video
Sometimes, you may just need to flip parts of your video file, e.g. only 1 minute instead of the whole video. In this case, you need to split your video into separate files , and then repeat step 2 to flip them individually.
To do it, just move the playhead to the position you want to split, and click the “Scissors” icon in the menu bar.
