[Suggestion] add rotation jobs for clips.

well, like now is not possible to use rotations effects because the rotated clip is cutted from previous geometry/size (if i have an horizontal clip, rotating it by 90 i have just a square on center because upper and bottom sides are out of clipping area)

i suggest to add 2 rotation jobs directly on Project bin , using ffmpeg to be sure to not lose details and to make easier management of vertical clips from smartphones.

rotate

usually is use these 2 batches:

to rotate 90:

c:/programmi/kdenlive/bin/ffmpeg -i C:\Users\user\Videos/in.mp4 -vf "transpose=2" C:\Users\user\Videos/out.mp4

to rotate -90:

c:/programmi/kdenlive/bin/ffmpeg -i C:\Users\user\Videos/in.mp4 -vf "transpose=1" C:\Users\user\Videos/out.mp4

After the successfully rotation of CLIP i suggest to open the POP-UP project resolution change asking to use the format of clip resolution. (from 1920x1080 to 1080x1920)
