Forget rotating. Here's the most common use case: trimming a clip.

Right now it's super annoying that if I load a 720x408 clip, I have to
manually create a profile that matches the input clip, then select that
profile from the "All" list, which if full of profiles I have no
interest in whatsoever.

To understand better where I'm coming from: I've been using VirtualDub
for the past 8 years. VirtualDub makes it very straightforward to load a
clip in its native resolution, trim it, add effects etc. and save. No
messing with formats - I want to preserve as much quality as possible.

Please, implement this.

Title:
  Export with the same video format as the input clip

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  One of the most basic uses of a video editor is to just trim a part of
  a clip or to rotate it.  This is much harder than it needs to be in
  openshot.

  If there is only one clip imported, then the export format should be
  the same format as the input clip.  This default can of course be
  changed should the user wish to, but having this default will make
  openshot much easier for beginners and more practical for at least
  some intermediate users.
