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.
