What is Subject Tracking?
Subject Tracking intelligently follows a person or object in your video, adjusting the frame to keep it centered and in focus. This eliminates shaky, awkward cropping and delivers smooth, cinematic reframing — perfect for vertical shorts, social media clips, or polished edits.1. Moving Speaker Tracking (Automatic)
Ideal for: Videos with one primary speaker who moves naturally (e.g., pacing during a presentation, gesturing in a vlog).How It Works:
- Automatic Detection: OpusClip identifies the active speaker using voice and motion cues.
- Smooth Camera Shifting: The frame adjusts gradually to follow the speaker’s movements, avoiding jarring jumps.
- Hands-Free Editing: No setup required—just upload your video, and let the AI handle the rest.
2. Manual Subject Tracking (Customizable)
Ideal for: Creative control in complex scenes — track any subject (human or non-human) or switch focus between multiple subjects.How It Works:
- Select a scene that you want to reframe from the timeline
- Click Tracker to enable manual subject tracking.
- Click to select the subject you want to track. Once selected, the AI will automatically identify and track the subject for you.
- You can click again to expand the selection box.
- You can also select different subjects to track in different scenes. Your selected subject is only identified and tracked in the underlined scenes. To track another subject, click on a highlighted scene to choose another subject.
- After the subject is selected, you can start tracking it.
Works for Any Content
- Track non-human subjects: Products, animals, vehicles, or text (e.g., following a chef’s hands in a cooking demo or a drone in action).
- Human tracking: Faces, full-body movement, or specific gestures.
