Hey @brenocrs !

Thanks for using the app and proposing this feature.

I already had in mind doing that, selecting the video and cropping it to a second should not be a hard task, the problem is with ffmpeg.

The way the videos are compiled together is through a lossless command, and it fails if there's a video with different resolution.

Other lossless commands are way too slow than the one used in the app.

Basically, that's the reason why I've also locked the camera orientation.

Anyways, I'll try to find an alternative solution to this, or even process the uploaded video metadata to avoid such problems.

If you want to help or happen to know a solution please don't hesitate contributing! 😁

@KyleKun ,what about:

1. Identify the video orientation: using ffprobe or exif-metadata
2. If is not in landscape, use the transpose or rotation function in the ffmpeg

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look into it for the next update!
