This is not yet supported in Photos 5 on macOS 10.15 Catalina, but will be supported in Photos 6 on macOS 10.16 Big Sur.


For the time being, export the video from Photos, then open the exported video in QuickTime Player and use the command from the Editor menu:

  • Edit > Rotate Left ⇧⌘L
  • Edit > Rotate Right ⇧⌘R


Save the video and import it again to Photos.
