Auto Reframe

Powered by AI technology, Auto Reframe automatically detects the focal point of your video and crops it, always keeping it in the frame. This way the main action or object of your video never goes out of sight.

You can opt to manually change the focal point of your video or choose an aspect ratio that fits your preference, depending on the social platform where you wish to upload the video. We will show you how to use the Auto Reframe option in Filmora and manually adjust the video as you desire.
