Suggest use OpenShot as per this step by step:

1. Add you clip to the track:
2. Then right click the video imported on the track to rotate:
3. Then export your video (note the picture is rotated in the preview)
4. Once you video has been exported create a new project and reload your newly rotated video
5. Use the razor tool to cut and split tracks:

Use Kdenlive, a wonderful non-linear video editor. Despite the KDE in it's name it works just fine on the Gnome desktop. It's probably not quite as simple as pitivi or openshot, but it certainly doesn't have the spaceship-controlboard aesthetic of bigger commercial products.

You probably can get away with using the stock Ubuntu package, though there are also alternative, up-to-date packages available:

Add your footage as a clip, then apply a 'Rotate and Shear' effect from the Video Effects menu. Watch out for the rotation units - they are deci-degrees - so '900'=1 quarter turn.

Have fun!
