FFMPEG unwanted rotation

Question

When I add a watermark image with a landscape orientation to a video that has a portrait orientation the video automatically rotates to landscape. How do I prevent this? Also, the audio file isn't being merged into the output. How can I include the audio.mp3 to be the sole audio track?

ffmpeg -i 1425500438.MOV -i hashtag.png -itsoffset 00:00:07 -i audio.mp3  -filter_complex "[0:v]curves=preset=vintage[a];[a][1:v]overlay=10:10[out]"  -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -ss 0:0:07 -t 14 -map "[out]" -y processed.mov

Problem 1

When I add a watermark image with a landscape orientation to a video that has a portrait orientation the video automatically rotates to landscape. How do I prevent this?

The problem is the rotate metadata in the video stream. In your case this is set by the iPhone. The video is not actually recorded "vertically", but the player is supposed to use the rotation metadata to rotate it upon playback. Unfortunately, some players pay attention to this metadata, such as QuickTime, while others ignore it, such as VLC. Due to the inconsistency of players and because ffmpeg preserves the stream metadata this can cause issues.

What to do:

Since you're filtering anyway you can use one of many rotation capable filters to reposition the video.
Strip out the video stream rotation metadata.

Problem 2

The audio file isn't being merged into the output. How can I include the audio.mp3 to be the sole audio track?

Since you used the -map option the default stream selection behavior was disabled. It's generally a better idea to explicitly define the inputs/streams you want, so just add another -map to map the audio.

Example

ffmpeg -i video.mov -i logo.png -i audio.mp3 -filter_complex \
"[0:v]transpose=2,curves=preset=vintage[bg]; \
 [bg][1:v]overlay=10:10,format=yuv420p[vid]" \
-c:v libx264 -metadata:s:v rotate="" -map "[vid]" -map 2:a -c:a copy \
-shortest output.mov
