Exported video rotates regardless of output settings

[farcast3r]

The fewer issues I have to read, the more new features I will have time to implement, so I ask that you please try these things first

• Try with a different kind of file to confirm that the problem is related to just this file.
• Try with the newest version from GitHub
• Read the documentation and FAQ, Known issues, Troubleshooting
• Search for your problem under Issues or Discussions

Steps to reproduce

I have been trying to trim a few videos that I took on my iPhone but they seem to be behaving different than files I've downloaded online - attempting to export these files results in the output file being rotated. Example file attached

All files are between 60MB and 323MB so I cannot attach to this form -
I have tried exporting with various formats

Expected behavior

Exported video should retain the same rotation as the original video

Actual behavior

Video exports with trim applied but also rotated 270 degrees

Update: I am presuming that the issues are caused by rotation metadata embedded in the video files

I have tried to force rotation (90 degrees) in Lossless Cut before rendering, but the resulted video remains in the wrong orientation -

Also, when exporting these videos (with or without changing rotation), the beginning seems to flicker in the wrong orientation.

I'm wondering what the best approach would be here - to Handbrake the videos beforehand, or to try and remove the rotation metadata from the videos?

Any support would be greatly appreciated
