Attention

The axes for rotation are different than for moving a clip. The latter uses the monitor plane: X = width or horizontal axis, Y = height or vertical axis. For rotation the plane is tilted by 90 degrees “into the monitor” and rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the vertical axis. This results in the X axis coming out of/going into the monitor, the Y axis being along the width of the monitor and the Z axis being along the height of the monitor. See image below.
