Transform Landscape Videos to Vertical in Seconds with Brevidy Autocrop
Brevidy Autocrop detects who’s actively speaking and automatically centers them in the frame. It can switch focus quickly, hold the camera on one speaker, or balance responsiveness and stability depending on the scene.
Turning a full-length 16:9 video into a perfectly framed 9:16 vertical clip has never been easier. What used to take hours of cutting, key framing, and juggling multiple tools can now happen in seconds, all thanks to Brevidy Autocrop. Whether you’re editing a multi-speaker interview or a complex multi-layer timeline, this AI-powered tool makes vertical video production faster, smarter, and social-ready.
Convert Landscape Videos to Vertical Format Seamlessly in Premiere Pro
Editing for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts usually means converting landscape footage into vertical format, a tedious process if done manually. With Brevidy Autocrop, it’s as simple as opening your sequence in Premiere Pro, choosing your output, and running the tool.
Once you open Premiere Pro, go to Window → Extensions → Brevidy Autocrop. To begin, select your output (default 1080×1920), choose a selection preset, and define crop movement. Hit “Run Auto Crop,” and your video is reframed in seconds, the AI does the heavy lifting while you focus on your creative vision.
Smart Speaker Tracking for Multi-Person Vertical Video Editing
Multi-person interviews and overlapping dialogue can make framing a nightmare. Brevidy Autocrop solves this with intelligent presets and movement options. It detects who’s actively speaking and automatically centers them in the frame. It can switch focus quickly, hold the camera on one speaker, or balance responsiveness and stability depending on the scene.
Crop movement options let you choose between:
- Tracked: follows the speaker’s head for a dynamic shot
- Dynamic: keeps the subject centered while allowing natural motion
- Static: locks the framing for consistency
This flexibility ensures professional results while respecting the rule of thirds, creating visually engaging vertical clips without the hours of manual work.
Real-Time AI Vertical Video Editing in Premiere Pro
Speed and security are major advantages of Brevidy Autocrop. All processing happens on Brevidy’s own servers no third-party APIs so your content stays safe and private. A 45-second clip, for instance, takes roughly 45 seconds to process. The AI detects the active speaker, applies keyframes, and produces a new 9:16 sequence automatically.
Even complex, multi-layer sequences with overlapping dialogue are handled effortlessly. What used to take hours of keyframing and tracking can now happen in minutes, freeing you to focus on storytelling rather than technical work.
For readers new to vertical workflows, Adobe offers a helpful guide on editing vertical videos in Premiere Pro that covers timeline setup, output formatting, and best practices for social platforms.
Manual Adjustments for Perfect Vertical Video Framing
Even though the tool automates most of the work, you still have full control. Using the Transform effect in Premiere Pro in Effect Controls, you can fine-tune framing, reposition shots, or adjust scale. This flexibility makes it perfect for editors who want speed without sacrificing creative control.
If your project has multiple camera angles, you can also leverage multi-camera editing in Premiere Pro to combine and track different viewpoints, Autocrop handles these setups seamlessly.
Seamless Integration with Brevidy Tools for Vertical Video Workflow
Brevidy Auto Crop works best as part of the full Brevidy ecosystem. Combined with AutoCut, it trims clips and selects key moments automatically. Pair it with Brevidy Captions for subtitles that match the active speaker.
The workflow is seamless: AutoCut → Autocrop → Captions → Publish. You get scroll-stopping vertical content ready for social, all without leaving Premiere Pro. Even medium-stock footage or layered sequences are handled effortlessly.
For comparison, Adobe’s Auto Reframe feature also adapts footage to different aspect ratios automatically, but Brevidy Auto Crop adds intelligent speaker tracking for interviews and multi-person scenes.
