Over the weekend, I took some video on my wifes Samsung S23FE, which came out perfect.... on the phone at least.

When I copied the file to my PC and viewed it, it came out rotated 90 degrees. So I went into ClipChamp and rotated it correctly, but it stuffed up the aspect - not that it was a major. Was happy with the output, so exported it, and uploaded to Youtube. But on Youtube, the damn thing has rotated again.

Any ideas how to resolve this ?

Might be best to rotate it on the phone first before exporting it to your PC?

There's rotating the video stream (essentially a transcode) and then there's changing the rotation metadata.

I was going to suggest you use ffmpeg to rotate it. But that won't be lossless.

You might be better off using exiftool to change the rotation metadata and see if YouTube picks that up.
