Auto Reframe Horizontal Video to Vertical 9:16 With Face Tracking

SocialClip Studio's Smart Reframe turns horizontal 16:9 video into vertical 9:16 clips and keeps the people in frame with face tracking, shot by shot. It is for creators, podcasters, and streamers posting to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels. It runs automatically on every clip and is included in Starter ($14.95/mo) and Pro ($29.95/mo, unlimited videos), one flat price with no credits.

How it works

  1. Add your video. Paste a YouTube, Twitch, or Kick link, upload a video file, or import one from Google Drive.
  2. SocialClip Proprietary AI cuts the best moments. Each moment becomes a short clip. Smart Reframe is on by default.
  3. Every shot is reframed to 9:16. Smart Reframe finds the faces in each shot and frames around them: one person centered and held steady, two people stacked top and bottom, three people in rows. Faces that never move, like a poster on the wall, are ignored.
  4. Gaming clips get their own layout. When a facecam is found, it sits in a band at the top and the gameplay fills the rest of the vertical frame.
  5. Fix any shot by hand. In the editor, open AI Tools → Smart Reframe → Adjust framing to drag the frame, pick a person, move or add a switch, or reset to auto.
  6. Download or publish. Download the clip, or publish and schedule it to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and X (Starter and Pro).

FAQ

Is there an AI tool that auto reframes horizontal video to vertical 9:16 and follows the speaker?

Yes. SocialClip Studio's Smart Reframe reframes every clip to 9:16 and uses face tracking to keep people in frame. It frames by who is on screen in each shot, so a single speaker is centered and two people are both kept in view, stacked top and bottom.

Does the frame jump around?

No. With one person on screen the frame holds still and only moves when the face moves by about a face width, so the clip does not jitter.

Can I change the framing if the AI gets a shot wrong?

Yes. The Adjust framing screen in the editor lets you drag the frame, pick one person or everyone, move or add a switch point, and reset to auto at any time.

Does auto reframe work on gaming streams?

Gaming clips use a separate layout: when a facecam is found, it sits in a band at the top and the gameplay fills the rest of the vertical frame. You can adjust the game and camera boxes by hand.

Do I have to turn it on?

No. Smart Reframe is on by default for every new video.
