## Overview
Face Tracking helps keep an on-stage speaker in frame as they move around. It follows the speaker's face and adjusts the crop so the final clip stays focused on the person speaking.
Face Tracking is available in both **Clipping** and **Auto Reframe**. It is turned on by default before clipping, so Reap will automatically apply it unless you turn it off.
Use Face Tracking for talks, keynotes, podcasts, panels, interviews, lectures, and event videos where the main speaker may walk, turn, or shift position during the recording.
## When To Use Face Tracking
* Your source video has a speaker on stage or in front of an audience.
* The speaker moves around and may drift out of the center of the frame.
* You are converting a wider video into a portrait or square clip.
* You want Reap to prioritize the person speaking instead of keeping a fixed crop.
## Use Face Tracking Before Clipping
This video shows where to turn Face Tracking on or off before generating clips.
Upload your video or paste a supported video link into Reap.
Select the video genre, captions, language, script, orientation, and resolution for the clips you want to generate.
Face Tracking is on by default. Leave it on if you want Reap to follow the speaker and keep them in frame.
Toggle Face Tracking off before clicking **Get Clips** if you do not want it applied to the generated clips.
Click **Get Clips** to generate your clips with the selected Face Tracking setting.
## Use Face Tracking With Auto Reframe
Face Tracking is also available when using Auto Reframe. Keep it enabled when you want Reap to follow the speaker while reframing the video into another orientation, such as portrait or square.
Turn Face Tracking off in Auto Reframe if you want the reframed output to use a more fixed crop instead of following the speaker.
## Change Face Tracking After Clips Are Generated
You can also change Face Tracking after clips are generated.
This video shows where to turn Face Tracking on or off and adjust Face Tracking settings inside the clip editor.
Open the generated clip you want to adjust.
In the editor, open **AI Tools**.
Toggle Face Tracking off if you no longer want it applied, or keep it on and make adjustments to improve the tracked framing.
Review the clip to make sure the speaker stays in frame, then export when the result looks right.
You may see motion blur in the `480p` preview for an unexported clip and inside the editor. Export the clip to see the final result with clean movement and no motion blur.
## What To Check Before Exporting
* The speaker's face stays visible throughout the important moments.
* The crop does not cut off key gestures, slides, or visual context you want to keep.
* The framing still feels natural when the speaker turns, walks, or changes position.
* Captions, overlays, and other assets do not cover the speaker's face.
## If The Framing Needs Adjustment
If Face Tracking is close but not perfect, open the clip in the editor and adjust the framing manually. Manual framing changes take priority, so Reap will keep the edits you make on the canvas.
For videos with screen sharing, slides, or demos, use Presentation mode when generating clips so Reap can include the shared content along with the speaker.
