When taking a video in landscape mode, why does it get flipped back to portrait mode?

[AC Question]

Taking video in landscape mode get's flipped back to potrait...

Hi there,

So I've just got my S5 Active, and I've been messing around with the video. Now, not being a complete moron, I will only film anything by turning my phone sideways so I can film properly. To anyone that films vertically, for the love of god please stop!

Anyways, so after I have made a film and go back to review it, the phone only plays it in vertical mode... So when I turn the phone to landscape, the video rotates itself vertical again... What the hell is the deal with this? I have to go into the video trimmer, and rotate the video and re-save it all the time? That can't be... Anyone else have this problem?

Welcome to Android Central! Not sure if this matters, but is your Auto-Rotate turned off? If so, and if your phone is locked into portrait mode, I wonder if the phone thinks you're taking the video in portrait mode, even though you're holding it in landscape. The video would then be shown sideways.
