To rotate a video 90 degrees, try:

- note that the "rotate" parameter is absolute. The meta on the file may already be -90, if the video was recorded on a phone in photo-orientation, so you'd want to use 0 or 180.

That would be the one time I'd be glad that new devices can't import old data/contact (though I still wish existing devices could explicitly send that data over).
