⭐ Intelligent Mouse Cursor Tracking for YouTube Shorts Conversion ⭐

Request:

Enable intelligent mouse cursor tracking to dynamically adjust the video framing for seamless conversion of 16:9 videos into 9:16 YouTube Shorts

Description:

As a content creator, converting standard 16:9 videos into the vertical 9:16 format for YouTube Shorts often results in the original video being confined within large black borders to maintain aspect ratio. This significantly reduces the visual appeal and clarity of the content, especially when important details and action points are spread across the original widescreen format.

Proposed Feature:

Introducing an Intelligent Mouse Cursor Tracking feature within the video editing suite that adapts the video framing to follow the mouse cursor dynamically. This means that during the conversion process, the point of interest, generally indicated by the cursor’s location, would guide the focal area within the vertical format. This would ensure that the most relevant parts of the horizontal video are always centered and fully visible in the vertical frame.

Benefits:

Enhanced Focus: Ensure key actions and information remain central and visible, improving viewer engagement and understanding.

Better Utilization of Screen Space: Maximizes the visible content area by dynamically adjusting rather than containing the entire 16:9 video within a 9:16 frame.

Improved Viewer Experience: Eliminates large black borders and maintains a more visually appealing and professional output.

Efficiency for Creators: Reduces manual effort in editing and adjusting focus areas, allowing creators to produce high-quality Shorts more quickly.

This feature would be a significant enhancement for content creators who want to adapt their existing widescreen content effectively for YouTube Shorts, maintaining the essence and clarity of their original recordings.

    Please also add to this the ability to select the portion of the screen you want to record! I don't want to see the bottom of my computer screen or the top bar of the browser when recording. Make it better than bandicam! Also if you can figure out a way to let users record in both formats (horizontal for normal video and vertical for shorts) at the same time or when editing it follows the mouse perfectly and centers it to the screen so you can chop a horizontal video to vertical without losing any of the mouse movements, it would be the biggest game changer ever. People are looking for this solution and cannot find it executed well!
