Why Video Cropping Usually Fails.

Most automated tools lose the story. They don't know who is speaking or what matters. You end up with a vertical video of a wall while the action happens off-screen. Prism’s video analysis understands the scene’s intent, ensuring your crop follows the narrative and not just the center of the frame.

Ship vertical, square and social cuts in minutes.
Multiple Outputs

One upload. A full set of variants.

Generate 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, and custom ratios from a single source video. Request one output or a full set for distribution.

Intelligent Reframing

Focuses on the right moment.

Prism follows the narrative of the clip, keeping attention on the primary subject as the story moves. Reframes are always intentional through shot changes.

Dynamic Layout Switching

When a single crop isn’t enough, the layout adapts.

Prism can switch layouts mid-clip using split screen or alternate compositions when it improves clarity, preserves context, or keeps key subjects visible.

EXPORT

Production-Ready Handoff.

Receive a packaged set of platform-ready aspect ratios with context-aware reframing and dynamic layouts when needed. Outputs are delivered via API callback/webhook with delivery URLs in the formats your workflow expects.

Smart Video Cropping for the teams that publish everywhere.
Built for high-frequency distribution where teams need reliable aspect-ratio versions without manual re-exporting.
For Newsrooms & Publishers
Generate vertical, square, and feed formats from finished segments. Ship clean versions across web, mobile, and social in one run, automatically, without manual exports or post work.
For Sports Broadcasters & Teams
Create platform formats for highlights, recaps, and studio segments. Keep action, graphics, and faces readable across ratios, and switch to split layouts for interviews and two-shots.
For Creator Studios & Networks
Turn one master into a distribution set for Shorts, Reels, and feeds. Keep framing consistent across episodes, then receive a ready-to-post bundle your team can schedule immediately.
For Music Labels & Artist
Produce vertical versions and campaign cutdowns from one master. Keep performance moments centered across ratios, then export a clean bundle for every channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Prism Video Cropping do?

It generates publish-ready aspect ratio versions from a source video via API—vertical, square, feed, and custom formats—returned as final exports.

Can I request multiple formats in one job?

Yes. Submit once and receive a packaged set of outputs for every ratio and variant you request.

How long does it take to generate a video?

Most videos generate in minutes depending on length and format choices.

Is this part of the Prism editing suite?
