Speaker-aware reframe

Reframe wide footage into vertical output without giving up manual control.

Carmic combines automatic speaker-aware layouts with manual crop tools so your team can move quickly without getting locked into a bad framing decision.

Why it matters

Short-form framing breaks fast when the layout cannot follow the scene

Podcasts, interviews, and creator videos need different layout behavior across single-speaker shots, two-speaker scenes, and wider compositions.

  • Track a single speaker for cleaner vertical focus
  • Switch to split-screen when two people share the frame
  • Keep manual crop overrides available for edge cases

Auto tracking

Use automatic layout decisions to keep the most relevant speaker in frame without hand-animating crops.

  • Single-speaker emphasis
  • Scene-aware movement
  • Cleaner first pass for editors

Split-screen support

Two-speaker footage can shift into a more readable format that preserves both sides of the conversation.

  • Better podcast clips
  • Cleaner interview layouts
  • More legible dialogue moments

Manual overrides

When a creative decision needs a human touch, crop and layout tools are still available in the editor.

  • Manual crop modal
  • Per-shot layout refinement
  • No need to accept every auto decision

Auto reframe is only valuable when manual control is still one click away

That balance is what this page should sell: fast AI layout decisions plus the controls needed to fix the moments that matter.
