Auto Reframe overview

Learn how Auto Reframe intelligently identifies the actions in your video and reframes the clips for different aspect ratios.

Auto Reframe is really handy for posting your video to different social media channels such as Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook.

You can use Auto Reframe to reframe sequences for square, vertical, and cinematic 16:9, or when cropping high-resolution content like 4K and beyond. You can automatically reframe individual clips or a complete sequence.

Set output resolution for Auto Reframe sequence

When reframing a sequence, you can now define the target resolution directly in the Auto Reframe dialog. This helps you avoid manually adjusting sequence settings after reframing.

In the Auto Reframe Sequence dialog, specify the target resolution for the reframed sequence. If you change the resolution, Premiere automatically adjusts the aspect ratio based on the values you enter. The selected resolution is saved and reused when Auto Reframe is applied again to sequences with the same dimensions.

Set a custom target resolution in the Auto Reframe Sequence dialog to control the output size of the reframed sequence.

This gives you more control over the final output while keeping your workflow efficient.
