Smart reframe

Turn 16:9 video into 9:16 automatically

16:9 turned into 9:16 by following the face and cutting at the scene changes — not by dropping a fixed crop box over the middle and hoping.

It follows the person

Subject tracking follows the speaker, so somebody who moves does not walk out of frame halfway through the clip.

It cuts where the shot cuts

Scene-change detection means the crop moves at the edit point, not sliding across the middle of a take.

One master, every aspect

The landscape original stays untouched; the vertical version is another output of the same job.

Why a fixed centre crop does not work

Almost nothing worth watching is framed dead centre. Interviews sit the subject to one side, two-handers put nobody in the middle, and any camera move leaves a static crop pointing at a wall.

Following the subject is the difference between a vertical cut that looks deliberate and one that looks like a mistake nobody checked.

Made for people publishing everywhere at once

One recording now has to become a landscape upload, a vertical short and usually a square. Doing that by hand for every clip is the reason most people stop bothering with the vertical cut.

Questions

Before you download

Which plans include it?

See the pricing page — smart reframe is part of the higher tiers, and the comparison table there is generated from the plans themselves.

Can I still fix the framing myself?

The output is an ordinary video file. Nothing stops you taking it into an editor afterwards.
