You can do it in Premiere (and likely other editors, also).

There are a few ways to do it in Premiere:

- In "motion", rotate 180 degrees (you need to add "reverse field dominance"),

and use "0, .5" as the coordinates (there are still problems with interlacing

with motion...).

- In video filters, "transform", camera-view, roll 180 degrees (also need

to reverse field dominance - and the results are softer than the original).

- The one that works best is: video-filters, "perspective", basic 3-D,

tilt 180 degrees...
