Quick tip: Rotating images and videos 90 degrees in MacOS Finder using CMD+R or CMD+L

Whilst trying to reload a document in my browser, I found an interesting shortcut. As I had a Finder window in focus with a video file highlighted, I found out that:

• You can rotate images and videos in Finder 90 degrees clockwise by pressing CMD+R and
• You can rotate images and videos in Finder 90 degrees counterclockwise by pressing CMD+L

The rotation is almost instant with smaller files and get a “conversion” pop-up for larger ones. In any case, it is much faster than doing it with FFMPEG or other tools.
