Make a moving crop from an existing recording

Reframe an interview, lesson or presentation after choosing the passage. The crop changes position inside the original image to follow one selected person. It removes the surrounding picture rather than adding a background or creating a split-screen layout.

How to reframe your video

  1. Select a local video and find people. Run face detection, or start with manual positioning if no face is visible.
  2. Choose a person and shape. Select 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1, then apply your person choice to the whole shot or from the current playback position.
  3. Adjust movement. Smooth reduces small shifts; Responsive reacts more closely; Fixed stops automatic panning. Use the 1–2× zoom control to tighten the composition.
  4. Review and correct. Compare the original crop outline with the reframed view. Drag the crop or set horizontal and vertical positions. Undo, redo or remove a change to compare alternatives.
  5. Build the final preview. Set output detail and audio, render, then watch the finished file before downloading.

Example: switch from interviewer to guest

Select the interviewer for the shot. At the guest’s answer, select the guest from that moment. Play across the switch and check both faces, hands and any product being shown. A visible face alone does not guarantee useful context; reduce zoom or choose 4:5 if 9:16 cuts off too much.

Trim the passage first to shorten processing. Use Video Cropper for a stationary area, or Social Media Resizer to keep the whole picture with a background. Add subtitles after reframing so they fit the new composition. Browse all free tools.

Questions about automatic reframing

Is this free, and does my video leave my device?

It is free without an account or added watermark. Face detection, crop planning and export run locally. The page downloads its model and processing libraries, but does not upload your video.

Can I choose between two people?

Yes. Choose a detected face for the whole shot or from the current moment. The first shot may receive a suggestion; choose again for later shots. Tracking follows position, not a persistent identity, so review crossings and head turns.

Does it follow the active speaker or any moving object?

No. You choose the person, and face detections guide the crop. It does not identify who is speaking, track arbitrary objects, select highlights or generate subtitles.

What if a face disappears or tracking becomes uncertain?

The crop stays near its last reliable position. Review the marked intervals, select the face again or add a manual position. Two manual positions can create a move between them; a person selection or new shot ends that manual override.

Which sizes and files can I use?

Choose 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1. Your browser must decode the source and support video export. There is no fixed input duration or file-size cap, but memory, storage and codecs limit practical capacity.

Should I choose Source detail or 1080 output?

Source detail avoids enlarging the crop. The 1080 option may enlarge it to the output limits, but does not recover detail removed by cropping. More zoom keeps less of the original image.

What happens to sound and output quality?

Keep the primary audio track or export silently. MP4 is preferred, with WebM when encoding or audio compatibility requires it. The picture is re-encoded, at up to 30 fps, with a 1080-pixel short edge and 1920-pixel long edge.

Is the final preview the file I download?

Yes. Build final preview renders the actual export. The result player and download use that file. Framing or output changes clear the old result, so build it again and save the version you want.
