Layout, crop and tracking

Layout changes apply to the section under the playhead. Move the playhead first.

Fit or fill the frame

1. Open Layout.
2. Choose Fit to show the whole video, or Fill to fill the frame.
3. To use the same layout elsewhere, click Use this layout for similar sections, then Apply. One undo reverses it.

Crop the frame

1. Open Layout and click Edit framing on canvas, or double-click the preview.
2. Drag the box on the preview to frame the shot.
3. Click Apply.

The crop numbers are a share of the frame (from 0 to 1), so a crop looks right at any aspect ratio. You can only type crop numbers while you're framing on the canvas.

Split the screen between two speakers

Speaker split is on the Creator and Studio plans, and needs two people visible together in your clip.

1. Open Layout and choose Speaker split.
2. Speaker positions shows who is where, for example "Top: Speaker 1".
3. Click Swap speakers to switch them.
4. Turn on Keep speaker positions so speakers stay in the same place in other split sections.

If your clip has not been checked visually, choose Scan for people in Reframing. Both people can appear in the split even when only one is speaking.

Picture in picture

Picture in picture is on the Creator and Studio plans and also needs two people visible together.

1. Open Layout and choose Picture in picture.
2. Use Edit framing on canvas to adjust the main view.

Follow the subject

Subject tracking is on the Creator and Studio plans.

1. Open Layout and find Follow subject.
2. Choose Auto to follow movement automatically.
3. Or choose Pick subject, then click the subject on the preview.

Tracking needs subject analysis first. You can't start that analysis from the editor yet.
