# Auto Reframe a Video

Paste or upload your video and Cliphi reframes it to vertical, keeping the subject centered as they move.

## How it works

1. **Paste a link or upload your video** Drop in a supported video link or upload a file. Cliphi reads the frame and the audio.
2. **AI reframes to vertical** Cliphi finds the subject and keeps them centered, tracking the speaker and the action as they move.
3. **Post or keep editing** Get a vertical clip ready to post, or adjust the framing, add captions, and a music bed before you do.

## Why Cliphi

- **Reframes, doesn't just crop** A plain center crop slices off the sides and hopes the subject is in the middle. Cliphi finds the subject and moves the frame to follow them instead.
- **Scales to a whole interview** Hand Cliphi a long video or a full stream and every clip it pulls comes out already reframed. You're not redoing the same crop work for the tenth highlight of the day.
- **The subject stays centered** Cliphi tracks the speaker and the action and keeps them in the vertical frame, so you never lose the important part to a fixed crop.

## Not a dumb center crop

Cropping a wide video to vertical the simple way means slicing off the sides and hoping the important part is in the middle. It rarely is. The speaker drifts, the action moves, and you end up with half a face or an empty frame. Cliphi reframes instead of just cropping. It finds the subject and keeps them centered as they move, so the vertical clip stays on the part that matters.

## Tracking that follows the action

Active speaker detection follows whoever is talking and keeps them in frame, and when the scene moves, the frame moves with it. For two or more people, Cliphi can cut between them or lay them out in a grid, so a conversation reads clearly in vertical instead of cramming everyone into a sliver.

You can output \[9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts\]\(/tools/make-video-vertical\), or 1:1 and 16:9 if you need them. And because Cliphi is a clip tool, the same paste can also \[find the best moments\]\(/tools/youtube-to-tiktok\), \[add captions\]\(/tools/add-captions-to-video\), and lay in a music bed, so reframing is one step in getting a finished clip rather than a separate chore.

What used to take an editor keyframing the crop across a whole clip now happens on a paste. And it scales: hand Cliphi a long interview or a full stream and every clip it pulls comes out already reframed, so you are not redoing the same crop work for the tenth highlight of the day. The point is to stop framing being the slow part of getting a video onto vertical feeds.

## FAQ

### How is auto reframe different from a normal crop?

A normal crop takes a fixed slice and cuts off whatever drifts to the side. Auto reframe tracks the subject and moves the frame to follow them, so the important part stays in shot.

### Can it reframe a long video into several clips at once?

Yes. Paste a long interview or a full stream and Cliphi pulls multiple clips, each one already reframed, so you don't crop them one at a time.

### What aspect ratios can it output?

9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, plus 1:1 for the feed and 16:9 for YouTube.
