Comment 2 for bug 807934

Currently NO way to prevent cropping when rotating a video originally shot in portrait; the top and bottom are cropped. I have tried all the options above and a few long shots not mentioned to no avail. Portrait orientated video has become prevalent.

[*] Thinkpad T540p i7 with 8GB Ram & 350GB SSD
[*] Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 Bit
[*] Openshot 1.4.3
[*] Video originally shot in portrait on Samsung Note3 (Video: H264 MPEG4 AVC 1440x1080 30FPS & Audio: MPEG AAC 48000Hz stereo)

Interestingly enough, VLC plays the original portrait video correctly in portrait without any cropping; should OpenShot not then be able to import the portrait video without auto adjusting it to landscape? This would negate the need to for rotation and the cropping issue to start with; if VLC can do it why can't OpenShot?
