Social media is 9:16, but live broadcast is 16:9. Grabyo’s powerful reframing tool allows you to bridge that gap instantly. By combining AI tracking with manual keyframe, editors can create professional vertical clips quickly and easily with a few clicks.
Core Functionalities & Logic
Core Functionalities & Logic | Controls | Functionality |
Manual Keyframes | Click to 'keyframe' the crop position at a specific video frame. | Creates anchor points for Interpolation. |
Mouse Tracking | Hold 'X' and follow the action with your mouse cursor in real-time. | Records coordinates as you move your mouse and generates keyframes for editing. |
AI Smart Tracking | Click the 'smart tacking' button in the keyframe sidebar and have AI follow the action for you. | AI processes video frame-by-frame, extracts keyframes for human-in-the-loop editorial control. |
How smoothing works
When you use AI or Mouse Tracking, the system generates a large amount of raw data (one data point per frame).
Grabyo uses algorithms to "simplify" this data to make it easier to make edits. The process also irons out jitters or bumps, leaving behind a set of editable keyframes. This gives you a professional edit that you can still tweak and override.
Interpolation between key frames provides smooth motion tracking for the final output. Types of interpolation supported are Linear and Spline (eased).
✅ Tips:
Primary Anchors: Place keyframes where the action's direction or speed changes. This will be performed automatically when using mouse tracking or AI smart tracking.
Secondary Details: Add detail keyframes only when needed; the interpolation should do the heavy lifting. Creating too many keyframes can cause jitter. Fewer points result in smoother tracking movement.
Use the shortcut keys 'V' and 'B' to jump between keyframes, enabling quick review of each keyframe's position.
To ensure clean cuts between shot changes, place one keyframe on the last frame of the first shot and another on the first frame of the second shot. This prevents the sliding effect between shots.
📕 Note: The initial release includes beta keyframing and mouse tracking; AI smart tracking and keyframe playback will be added shortly. For details, contact your account manager or support at help@grabyo.com.
