With hardware encoding I'm unable to create proxy file for an "externally" rotated .mov

Hi all,
I’m with the latest SC 20.11.28 on OSX 10.15.7.

My shotcut is actually able to create proxy files (with hardware encoding h264_videotoolbox enabled), but if I take a .mov and rotate it from ffmpeg with the usual command

ffmpeg -i INPUT.mov -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=“90” OUTPUT.mov;

when I import it in SC, it’s unable to create proxy (hardware encoding enabled): I take

Error initializing output stream 0:0 – Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

If I disable the hardware encoding, it’s all right - the proxy files are generated.

Anyone able to reproduce this behaviour?
Any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks a lot.

Change color transfer and primaries to bt601 when you rotate then try again.

-colorspace bt601 -color_primaries bt601 -color_trc bt601
