Both halves survive
the crop

Cropping a wide recording to vertical normally forces a choice: keep the camera or keep the play. Stacking keeps both in one tall frame, and you decide which one sits on top and how much height it gets. Available on paid plans.

The camera is small on purpose, and that is the problem

On a wide recording the camera usually lives in a corner, deliberately small so it stays out of the way. Crop that frame to vertical and one of two things happens: the crop follows the action and the camera is gone, or it follows the camera and the action is gone. Stacking removes the choice, because both are given their own band of the tall frame instead of competing for the same one.

In detail

How the two bands can be split

First number is the camera, second is what it sits with. Both the order and the heights are yours to set.

SplitCamera bandReads best when
30 / 70SmallWhat is happening matters more than the reaction
40 / 60ModestA balance that leans toward the action
50 / 50EvenThe reaction is half the point
70 / 30DominantYou are the show and the rest is background

The camera can sit above or below. Swapping the order does not change the heights you picked.

How it works

Three steps, zero editing

01
Upload the wide recording

Any recording where a camera and something else share the frame. The camera can be in any corner.

02
Set the stack

Choose which band goes on top, then how tall each one is. What you set is what renders, on every clip from that video.

03
Download the clips

Each one comes out tall with captions burned in, ready to upload without any further editing.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is a facecam clip?

A vertical clip that keeps two bands stacked in one frame: the camera in one, and whatever else was on screen in the other. Neither is thrown away by the crop.

Can I put the camera at the bottom?

Yes. The order is a setting, so the camera can sit above or below the other band, and the heights you picked stay the same either way.

Is this chosen automatically?

No, you choose it. Automatic layout selection cannot reliably tell a game recording apart from a screen share or a slide deck, so this one is picked deliberately rather than guessed.

Does it work on recordings that are not games?

Yes. Anything with a camera plus a second thing on screen stacks the same way, including a screen share with a webcam in the corner.

Do I need a paid plan for this layout?

Yes, stacking is on the paid plans. A free video uses the automatic layouts instead.

Stop choosing between the camera and the screen

Upload one wide recording, set the two bands, and see both survive the crop.
