As of now, they’ve also added ways to auto crop video they call Auto Crop in UniConverter, and Auto Reframe in Filmora.

Good for: Casual users, social media occasional use It’s a far more basic version of the effect, so I’d only recommend it if you’re already using Final Cut Pro. Unfortunately, in typical Apple fashion, it doesn’t offer any customization (with the exception of being able to change the crop after the fact – but for example, it doesn’t even generate keyframes). Good for: Apple aficionados, Final Cut Pro usersĪpple has followed in Adobe’s footsteps with their own approach to smart cropping they call Smart Conform. Unfortunately, this feature does not come with the free version of DaVinci Resolve, so you’ll have to shell out $295 for the Studio version. Similar to Premiere Pro, it not only tries its best to analyze automagically, but also allows you to edit all generated keyframes manually after the fact for maximum control. The latest versions of DaVinci Resolve Studio (17 and 18) come with their new Neural Engine, which includes the new Smart Reframe feature ( here’s a great video tutorial). I’m a fan of DaVinci Resolve, but the heated opinionated battles around video editors can sometimes feel like religion – all have pros and cons, you gotta pick the one that suits your workflow best.

Premiere Rush started as a very simplistic counterpart to Premiere, but actually becomes quite useful with the recent addition of Auto Reframe.īest I can tell, this version of Auto Reframe is a simplified version from the “full” Premiere Pro version, but it’s worked pretty well in my preliminary testing. If you don’t already have a Creative Suite subscription or full Adobe Premiere Pro is overkill for you, or if your workflow is primarily centered around your phone, take a look at Premiere Rush.

Good for: Professionals, those who already use Adobe software Here are five promising ways to auto-reframe, or smart crop horizontal to vertical video. I went on a quest yesterday to find out what else is out there, so you don’t have to. Of course, you could use a simple manual cropping tool to achieve this, but it’s 2022, and the AI revolution is in full swing! Adobe’s Smart Reframe feature shows that AI can help make smart cropping choices, saving you a ton of time in the editing process, but not everyone has access to Premiere Pro. The generally accepted best way to do this is by capturing horizontal video at a 16:9 aspect ratio, then converting it to formats like square (1:1) or vertical (9:16), for example to post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or even LinkedIn.
