Podcast to Vertical Video Clips: Cropping, Speech and Highlights
Understand automatic highlight ranking, portrait speaker framing and how to get better results from long-form footage.
1. Start with good cameras
Separate camera feeds or clear faces work better than tiny split screens.
2. Use audio to find moments
Speech density, volume peaks and scene transitions help identify candidates; humor and importance are subjective.
3. Track active faces
Face and mouth-motion tracking can move the crop toward a speaker but is not guaranteed speaker diarization.
4. Verify the framing
Watch the entire result before sharing so no speaker or content is cut off.
