Reframe your camera under Camera frame in the editor’s Adjust panel (press A): drag the focus point to choose which part of your camera recording stays centered in layouts, or click Crop to trim the shot. Use it when you were off-center while recording or when a layout crops the camera more tightly than you want.

​
Change which part of the camera stays centered

  1. Open your video and click Adjust in the sidebar, or press A.
  2. Find Camera frame.
  3. Drag the focus point in the preview to choose which part of the camera recording stays centered.
  4. Preview the clip in different layouts and fine-tune the point as needed.
Click Apply to all clips when you want to copy the current camera framing and crop to matching camera recordings elsewhere in the video.

​
Crop your camera

Beyond repositioning, you can crop your camera feed to trim away the parts you don’t want, the same way you crop screen recordings. This is useful for tightening the shot around your face or removing distracting background at the edges.
  1. Open the Adjust panel
    • Select your clip, then click Adjust in the sidebar. In the Camera frame section, click the Crop button.
  2. Set your crop
    • Drag and resize the crop frame over the part of the camera you want to keep.
    • Choose a preset aspect ratio (like 16:9 or 1:1), or select Custom to crop freely.
    • Type in exact pixel values for position and size when you need precision.
  3. Check the crop across the clip
    • Use the timeline below the preview to check your framing at other moments.
    • Click the timeline or drag the red playhead to move through the clip. The preview updates to the selected moment so you can confirm that you stay inside the crop frame.
  4. Set the focus point and mirror setting
    • Drag the focus point inside the crop selection to control which part of the cropped frame stays centered in your layouts.
    • Use Mirror camera below the preview if you want to flip the camera horizontally. Your crop follows the mirrored preview.
If the clip also has a screen recording, use the dropdown in the crop window title to switch between Camera and Screen without closing the tool.
What’s inside the crop frame is what shows inside each layout. Cropping only changes what appears within the camera shape, so bubble and rounded camera styles keep their shape.

​
Apply your crop to other layouts and clips

If your clip uses multiple layouts, or your video has several clips, you don’t need to crop each one by hand: In the crop window, choose a scope from the dropdown next to the Save button:
  • This layout only crops the camera in the active layout without changing the other layouts in the clip. A focus point you set in the crop window also stays on that layout.
  • All layouts in this clip (the default) applies the crop to every layout in the current clip.
  • All layouts in all clips copies the crop (and its focus point) to every clip’s camera across your whole video.
You can also use Apply to all clips in the Camera frame section to push the current camera crop and focus point to the other clips.
The camera’s mirror setting is different: it always applies to the whole clip, so every layout in that clip shares it.
Cropping the camera doesn’t touch your recording. Click Reset in the crop window at any time to return to the full camera frame.

Tips for camera framing

  • Aim for centering: In most cases, position yourself close to the center of the frame so viewers focus on you.
  • Consider the layout: If your camera is small or off to the side in a layout, slight framing adjustments still make a big difference.
