This is a reasonable feature request? For goodness sake people, THIS
IS PHOTO ALBUM SOFTWARE not full featured video editing suite!
Surely the devs have better things to do than add this - sooner or
later these straws will break the camel's back.
I do keep making this same point (sorry!) but I really think Shotwell
is going to loose its way if it gets too bogged down in this creeping
feature swamp.

Hi list,
I am sure I am not the only one who dumly rotate the camera when recording a
video, and then needs to turn the laptop 90? to watch the video :).
Is it possible to use ffmpeg or mencoder (or another tool supported by
shotwell) to rotate the video ? I know such an edition will affect the
original video file, as it cannot be done "on the fly".
Actually I think it should be possible to rotate the video image on the
fly as it's rendered - that would require some computational power, but
I bet that modern CPUs are plenty capable .
The user might also want to rotate a video file itself. For some video
formats, it might also be possible to write metadata bits that say that
the video should be rotated when displayed (just like we can for JPEG
files). For other formats, it might be necessary to rewrite the entire
file to achieve a rotation.
Any comments on this ? Should I add a ticket in the trac ?
This is a reasonable feature request. I've filed a ticket:
