Reference & editing workflows
AI Video Reframe Guide
Reframing is more than cropping when generative fill is involved. Define the subject-safe region and what may be reconstructed outside the original frame.
Subject safe area
Keep face, product and key action away from crop edges.
New canvas
Describe only the newly revealed environment when generative fill is used.
Camera
Do not accidentally turn a reframe into a new camera move.
Delivery
Check UI-safe zones for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
A practical reference workflow
- Identify the exact role of every reference: identity, product, environment, motion, start frame, end frame or edit target.
- Write down the elements that must remain unchanged before describing motion or edits.
- Describe one primary change at a time: action, camera, lighting, background, style or continuation.
- End with a stable target state that can be reviewed, edited or used as the next clip reference.
