video input panel "flip horizontally" option

Hello,

the video input panel can be a great tool if you want to record some reference footage or just a still photo.

I would like to suggest to have a "flip horizontally" option that can be checked/unchecked in the video input panel.
So that when I act something out, it is as if I am looking into the mirror.

I believe the recording is flipped by default in many webcam programs (e.g. Photo Booth on Mac) but I am only suggesting to have it as an option, of course.

You can enable the input view in your drawing area, then flip horizontally or vertically the canvas. It would work the same =)

Yes, that works! I'm always working in full screen so I have not seen that button.
All I need now is a keyboard shortcut to that button but I cannot find it.

Oh ! I see ! There is no shortcut by default, but you can assign it. Its name is "toggle video".
