11. Reframe

Automatically convert your video into 9:16 or 1:1 while keeping the subject in view.

Automatically convert your video into a social-ready aspect ratio (9:16 or 1:1) while keeping the subject in view.

This is essential for repurposing videos across different platforms without manually cropping, zooming, or tracking faces.

How It Works

The Reframe tile analyzes your footage and automatically chooses the best framing for each moment. It outputs a new lossy video render with the reframing baked in, so downstream tiles receive a normal video with no crop keyframes to preserve.

Reframe always keeps blurred/letterboxed padding enabled when it needs to preserve more of the source frame. This is especially useful for zoom-out moments where a tight crop would lose important context.

Input & Settings

1. Shape (Required)

Select the output shape of your video.

Options:

• 9:16 (Portrait) — TikTok, Reels, Shorts
• 1:1 (Square) — Instagram Feed, Facebook

Choose based on where you're publishing.

2. Zoom Out

Enable or disable zoom-out framing. When enabled, Reframe can choose to show more of the source frame instead of cropping tightly. Padding stays enabled either way; disabling zoom-out only prevents zoom-out segments from being used.

3. Dual Crop

For 9:16, Reframe can optionally use a stacked dual-crop layout for moments such as split-screen conversations or two important subjects. For 1:1, dual crop is always disabled.

Node params

Param	Type	Required	Default	Notes
shape	"9:16" | "1:1"	No	"9:16"	Target output shape.
zoom_out_enabled	boolean	No	true	Allows zoom-out framing with padding.
allow_dual_crop	boolean	No	true for 9:16, false for 1:1	Allows stacked dual-crop output when the target shape is 9:16.
static_reframe_mode	boolean	No	false	Static Reframe mode for talking-head footage where people mostly speak in place, such as podcasts or interviews.
aspect	"9:16" | "1:1"	No	"9:16"	Legacy alias for shape.
aspect_ratio	"9:16" | "1:1"	No	"9:16"	Legacy alias for shape.

Parameter groups

• Output framing: shape
• Framing behavior: zoom_out_enabled, allow_dual_crop, static_reframe_mode

Runtime notes

• Padding is always enabled and is not user-configurable.
• Framing decisions are automatic and adapt to the content of the video.
• Safe-zone and graphics-avoidance controls are not exposed in this tile.
• Existing nodes with older aspect or aspect_ratio settings continue to work. 1:1 stays square; any older unsupported ratios are coerced to 9:16.

Example

{
  "shape": "9:16",
  "zoom_out_enabled": true,
  "allow_dual_crop": true,
  "static_reframe_mode": false
