Re-frames to short-form vertical format (9:16 aspect ratio). We provide 2 re-framing methods:
1. Premiere Pro auto-reframe: Uses Premiere Pro's in-built "Auto Reframe" effect to focus on the portion of your video that has the most motion. Select from "slower", "default" or "faster" options to control the speed of the motion tracking.
2. Custom re-framing: Manually specify which "viewboxes" to focus on from your video. You may choose up to 3 viewboxes. FireCut will give you a suggested framing based on positions of faces in your video, but you can change this.
