Description
### Impacted plugin
VideoPress
### What
I wonder if it would be beneficial to allow users to easily rotate their videos in VideoPress since it can be fairly easy to accidentally upload a landscape video as horizontal and vice versa, especially if uploading directly from a camera import.
### How
This could be an additional button in the Media Library. It came up as a user was confused about why their video was displaying in landscape rather than horizontally, but there are also several requests for this feature in the Forums.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the VideoPress Media Library entry point and reviewing how uploaded video orientation is handled. Confirm the intended rotation behavior and how rotated videos should display before defining verification steps.
