Automatic 9:16 reframing
Wide in.Vertical out.
Slate turns horizontal film and TV clips into vertical shorts, framing the subject the way an editor would.
Clip: The Matrix
The story
Knows what must be on screen.
Slate follows the scene and keeps on screen who or what the viewer needs to see, moment by moment: the speaker, the person reacting, the car, the object being handed over.
Clip: The Shawshank Redemption
The subject
Stays on the subject, not just a face.
It stays on the person or object that matters for the whole shot, not just the nearest face, and frames people on their eyes.

The camera
Respects the edit. Moves like an operator.
The vertical frame never drags across a cut in the original. Within a shot it moves smoothly, without jitter or drift, and pans or cuts between subjects the way a camera operator would.
