Features

AI Speaker Tracking

Face detection tracks speakers across the frame, ensuring they stay centered in the vertical crop.

Action-Aware Cropping

Beyond faces, the AI tracks on-screen action, graphics, and text to keep important elements visible.

Smooth Camera Motion

The virtual crop moves smoothly between subjects — no jarring jumps or abrupt transitions.

Multiple Aspect Ratios

Output in 9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, 1:1 for Instagram feed, or 4:5 for Facebook.

How It Works

1

Paste a horizontal YouTube video

Any 16:9 YouTube video can be reframed to vertical format.

2

AI maps the reframing path

Speaker tracking and action detection create a smooth reframing path for each clip.

3

Get perfectly framed vertical clips

Clips are output in 9:16 with faces centered and action visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI video reframing work?

AI detects faces and important visual elements in each frame, then calculates the optimal vertical crop position. The crop moves smoothly to track speakers and action throughout the clip — like a virtual camera operator.

Does reframing cut off important content?

The AI is designed to keep the most important elements in frame. Speaker faces, text overlays, and key action are prioritized in the crop. The result is significantly better than static center-cropping.

What input formats does the reframer support?

AutoClip reframes any YouTube video. The source video can be any resolution — the reframer outputs optimized 9:16 clips at up to 1080p.

What's the difference between cropping and AI reframing?

Static cropping cuts a fixed portion of the frame. AI reframing dynamically adjusts the crop position over time, tracking speakers and action to simulate a camera operator following the content.

Does the video reframer work for two-person interviews?

Yes. AutoClip's AI tracks the active speaker and adjusts the crop between subjects during conversation, keeping the speaking person centered in the vertical frame.

What resolution does the reframer output?

AutoClip outputs vertical clips at up to 1080p × 1920p (Full HD vertical). Scale plan users get watermark-free output at full resolution.
