Rotating video in FCPx without using the Timeline?

I have movie shot of my mom making a turkey shot on a hand held camera. I open the movie in FCP and the Browser splits the movie into multiple clips. On of those clips is vertical. I don't know how this could happen when the hole video was shot horizontally. Anyways I want to rotate the clip back to normal but can only do it in the timeline which doesn't fix the clip. The transform options don't do anything if you have a clip selected in the Browsers. Is there anyway I can fix this?

I found a way to fix this myself. Click clip in Browser and select Reveal in Finder. Now quit FCP. In the Finder select the file and press the space bar which will show you a Quick Look of the video. In the upper right you can open it in Quicktime Player but don't. Just to the left is a Rotate button, click it and close window. You will see the video has been changed but the good thing is FCP will pick it up next time you run it.
