Vertical Studio

Horizontal video in, vertical video out.

A new cutof the same story.

Vertical Studio turns films, episodes and live streams into vertical video for phones, shot by shot, so the people on screen stay in frame.

The same clip, both ways.

Switch between Vertical Studio and a fixed center crop and watch who stays in frame.

Vertical Studio9:16

The problem

Libraries were shot for cinema and TV. Phones want 9:16.

Which part of the frame to keep changes with every shot: who is speaking, who matters, where the action goes. Doing that by hand across a library is the work Vertical Studio takes on.

100%of the picture's width survives a 9:16 frame

Outputs

One title in. Everything for vertical out.

Each output comes with an edit package for Adobe Premiere, so an editor can adjust anything. Captions stay readable in the vertical frame.

    It reframes and cuts

    Each shot is framed for 9:16. Then it plans the best-of, the teaser and the episodes.

Deployment

Runs where your media lives.

Cloud agnostic. The same product in our cloud, in yours, or in your building.

Our cloud

Nothing to install. Pay per title and per minute.

Your cloud

Deploy into your own cloud account. Built on containers, so it is not tied to one provider.

Your building

Runs on your own Linux machines or Macs with Docker. Media never leaves the building.

Hybrid

Processing where your media is, control from the cloud.

Your media, your rules

  • 01Each workspace's files are encrypted with that workspace's own key.
  • 02You choose the AI model provider, or run local models only.
  • 03Every run is metered. You see an estimate for each title before you commit.
  • 04Single sign-on for teams.

Who it is for

  • Studios
  • Streamers
  • Distributors
  • Broadcasters

Companies with long-form libraries who need vertical versions for phones, social and vertical-video platforms, without re-editing by hand.
