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.

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/rotating to landscape orientation?  This would
negate the need to for rotation and prevent the cropping issue to start
with.

Title:
  Rotating a video clip crops the corners

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This might be difficult to fix.

  Under Clip Proterties you can add the rotation effect to create a
  rotating image. Example a spinning cube. Now if I wanted to have the
  cube spin/roll across the screen I would add the rotate effect and
  under the layout tab slide it across the screen. Everything works the
  way it should but the corners of the rotating clip are cropped off as
  it rotates as the dementions of the clip don't expand to compensate
  the corners from going past the original boundaries.

  Quick fix: make the cube image with empty space around it in the
  program it was created in (Gimp). this way it will crop of empty space
  but you have a larger file to work with.

  Hard Fix: expand the Clip boundries to compensate the rotate. OR
  rotate the entire clip with the boundries so nothing is cliped.
