Is there a way to rotate a video in VLC (with or without saving) on Mac?

If I ask Google, I get a solution for Windows (Tools > Effects > Transform). After some searching, I've found an equivalent on Mac: Preferences > Show all > Video > Filters > Rotate or Transformation. However, neither the rotate nor the transformation filters work for me, the video continues playing as it was (in my case 90 degrees rotated). Any idea what I might be doing incorrectly? Do I maybe need to restart VLC or to reload the video after applying the filter? I have already found checkboxes under Filters, but they don't seem to make any difference.
