Overview

Reap’s reframing feature uses AI to automatically adjust your video’s composition for social-first aspect ratios without cutting off important faces, text, or visuals. It helps you turn landscape videos into platform-ready content faster, while keeping the most important elements in frame.

​
Why Use Auto Reframing

  • Convert landscape videos into social-ready formats automatically.
  • Keep faces, text, and key visuals in frame.
  • Save time compared with manual reframing.
  • Combine reframing with clipping, captions, and dubbing workflows.

​
Supported Aspect Ratios

Reap’s reframing workflow supports these formats:
  • Portrait (9:16) for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
  • Square (1:1) for Instagram posts, Facebook, and LinkedIn

​
Step-By-Step Workflow

1

Upload your landscape video

Start by uploading the landscape video you want to reframe.
2

Choose orientation

Select the aspect ratio that best fits the platform you are targeting.
3

Review the AI adjustments

Preview the reframed output to make sure important elements stay in focus.
4

Download or share

Export the reframed video when you are satisfied and use it in your content workflow.

​
1. Upload Your Video

  • Upload the landscape video you want to reframe.
  • Supported formats: .mp4, .mov, .webm.
  • Supported uploads start at 3 seconds and go up to 10 minutes.
  • Maximum file size: 2 GB.

​
2. Choose Orientation

Select the output format that best matches your destination platform.
  • Portrait (9:16) for mobile-first short-form content
  • Square (1:1) for balanced feed content across social platforms
Choose orientation based on where the content will be published first. That usually makes the reframed result feel more native on the target platform.

​
3. Review AI Adjustments

  • Let Reap automatically reframe the video.
  • Preview the result to confirm that speakers, text, logos, and other important content stay visible.
  • Make sure the framing still feels natural before exporting.

​
4. Manually Adjust The Framing When Needed

  • Open the clip in the editor if you want more precise control.
  • Choose the layout for your video segment, then click the video on the timeline.
  • Move the clip on the canvas to fine-tune the framing before export.
If you manually move, crop, or resize the framing, Reap keeps your manual changes and does not override them.

​
5. Combine With Other Tools

Reframing works well with other Reap workflows:
  • Add captions for better accessibility and engagement.
  • Pair it with clipping for social-ready short videos.
  • Use dubbing to create multilingual, platform-optimized content.

​
6. Download And Share

  • Export the reframed video when you are satisfied.
  • Download it or continue using it in your wider publishing workflow.

​
Tips For Better Reframing Results

  • Use Portrait (9:16) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
  • Use Square (1:1) for LinkedIn and feed-style posts.
  • Always preview the AI output before publishing.
  • Test multiple layouts when you want to compare which one performs better.
