I think the problem stems from the fact that the layout properties are
applied after the effects have been applied.  This works fine for
rotating an image or video which is full screen, as you can avoid the
clipping by zooming in by about 200%.

However to achieve a small video clip rotating across the screen without
clipping.  The layout properties would need to be applied before the
rotate effect.

Maybe having the layout properties treated separately from effects is
too limiting.  How about moving the layout properties to the effects tab
and treating the layout as an effect in itself.  This way you could
reorder the effects and this would be very powerful.

Title:
  Rotating a video clip crops the corners

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

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.
