Auto Reframe FAQ

Auto Reframe is a vertical video converter built into PowerDirector. It’s made for posting the same video to multiple social platforms. When you change a video's aspect ratio, the AI detects and follows the moving subject, like a person, a pet, or an athlete, and keeps it centered in the frame. There are no keyframes to set by hand, so you get a well-framed video in one click.

Yes. Auto Reframe works with most videos and is especially handy for turning a horizontal YouTube video, such as a vlog, product review, or interview, into a vertical video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. It's a quick way for creators and social media managers to share the same content across platforms.

Yes. PowerDirector's tracking handles fast-moving footage, from skateboarding and dancing to soccer or any clip where the subject changes position often. The AI quickly calculates the subject's path, so the reframed video stays smooth and the subject stays in the frame.
