Rotate a QuickTime Video

As a historic owner of QuickTime Pro, I’ve been dismayed at how capabilities keep getting removed or obfuscated from the latest releases of QuickTime Player and the confusing iMovie 09. To make the simple edit of rotating the image of a video (I held the camera at 90 degrees), I has to right-click the video in iPhoto and choose Show File to reveal the .MOV file in the finder. Then right-click the video and choose Open With and QuickTime Player 7 (to avoid the stripped down latest QuickTime release), then select Movie Properties from the Window menu. Finally, clicking on the Video Track presented me with the options to Flip or Rotate the video (as depicted above) <image missing>.
