Panel discussions

Four people talking,
one frame at a time

Panels are the hardest thing to crop vertically. Here the frame moves with whoever currently has the floor rather than locking to the middle of a wide shot. Your first video is free.

New customers pay $7.20 for their first month of Lite 10, then $12/mo. One per customer, limited time.

How does a panel survive going vertical?

Only if the frame moves. Four people spread across a stage cannot all fit in 9:16, so a fixed crop returns a clip of nobody in particular. Tracking the active speaker is what saves it, and when two of them start trading lines quickly, Split on the paid plans holds both instead of cutting between them.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What happens when they talk over each other?

Split on paid plans keeps both people in one frame, which handles overlap better than cutting.

Does it caption who is speaking?

The captions carry the words. Names are not added on top.

Can I keep the whole stage in shot?

Yes, 16:9 is available, and so are 4:5 and 1:1 if you want something between.

Six panellists. Realistically?

Be honest with it. The clean results come from one or two people on camera. A six-way wide shot gives a readable crop rather than something that feels made for vertical.

Does the free video include Split?

No, that one is paid. The free video uses the standard auto reframe.

Panels are worth clipping. They are just hard to crop
