At AI Video Cut, we’ve always been on a mission to give creators, influencers, and businesses the tool they need to repurpose videos easily and increase engagement. Today, we are excited to show you our latest innovation: Face Recognition and Smart-Crop.

What Is Face Identification and Smart-Crop?

We understand that not all videos have perfectly centered subjects, and sometimes, a person looks better positioned slightly off-center. In these cases, a simple automatic crop might not give the best results, so you might need to make some adjustments to capture the ideal framing. It gets even trickier when the person moves around in the video. That's why we came up with a solution to get around this easily. AI Video Cut automatically identifies faces, making sure that the most essential part of the frame is always in focus. The Smart-Crop feature adjusts the frame dynamically, creating perfectly centered and visually engaging clips that are just right for platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Here is an example of how a video with a person not in the center of the frame is cropped with and without Face Identification and Smart-Crop.

The standard automatic cropping did not always get the framing right, often cutting off important bits or missing the ideal position, which gave a less polished result.

AI Video Cut’s new Face Recognition and Smart-Crop feature keeps the subject in frame, even when they move or are off-center.

Key Benefits of Face Identification and Smart-Crop

1. Videos are more likely to capture attention and maintain viewer retention

Research shows that including faces in video, thumbnails can really boost click-through rates. So, Smart-Crop is not just about making your content look better but also about boosting its performance. No matter if you are showcasing a product, hosting a virtual meeting, or sharing a personal story, this feature keeps the focus where it matters most.

2. Content is more emotionally engaging

Faces play a crucial role in creating emotional connection. Videos with a clear frame get more engagement because they feel personal and relatable. This feature shows your audience the human side of your content and makes it more personal.

3. It saves your time and efforts

Cropping manually can be very time-consuming, especially for creators who produce content regularly. With AI Video Cut and its new Face Recognition and Smart-Crop feature, you can get the job done in seconds, so you can focus on creating, not editing.

4. Suitable for posting on any platform

Each social media platform has its own way of formatting videos. No matter what kind of content you're creating, whether it's for Instagram Stories, TikTok trends, or YouTube previews, Smart-Crop automatically adjusts to meet the specifications of 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 aspect ratios.

5. Professional quality for everyone

You don’t need to be a video editing expert to create high-quality, professional-looking content. This feature makes video editing accessible to all users, no matter if you are a small business owner or an early-career influencer.
