Feature Request: Auto-Orient Video

When recording with DSLR, videos are often shot intending for vertical. But it is saved in-camera as the widescreen orientation. So after importing, user has to manually Rotate to 90° (or -90, etc).

 

Feature Request:

Please add a 1-click "Auto-Orient Video" command in the right-click context menu for clips in timeline.

 

What it should do:

Analyze current frame (or entire clip) and update the Rotation property to 90°, 180°, or 270°.

Bonus points for a Preference under Prefs > Media for "Automatically Auto-Orient Clips".

Premiere Pro Beta has updated the Fit to Frame/Fill Frame workflow (these are great improvements to the legacy Scale vs. Set to Frame). This feature request would further enhance this workflow, for projects where users mix clips of odd aspect ratios and filming formats like vertical.
