Vertical Frame
The Vertical Frame element converts horizontal video into a vertical format. Choose automatic framing, configure a manual layout with zoom and a background, or rotate video from a sideways camera by 90°.
To see how this fits into a full single-upload workflow, read Automatic Vertical Framing.
Vertical mode
Automatic
Streamrun automatically analyzes the incoming video and selects the most suitable framing method.
IRL and general content
AI-powered subject tracking automatically follows the presenter and updates the crop in real time. This works well for IRL streams, talking-head content, interviews, and other non-gaming content.
Game streams
Streamrun automatically detects and extracts the facecam from the stream. The facecam is displayed below the gameplay, creating a vertical layout optimized for mobile viewing without any manual setup.
Rotate 90°
Choose Clockwise or Counterclockwise to rotate the full 1920×1080 video into a 1080×1920 portrait frame. Use this when your camera is mounted sideways and sends a horizontal stream. The full frame is retained without cropping.
Rotation does not use automatic framing, a blurred background, zoom, position shifts, or facecam extraction. Manual settings are preserved and apply again when you switch back to Manual. You can change the mode and rotation direction while streaming.
Manual
Manually configure the vertical layout. Available controls include:
- Crop position and size
- Framing and composition
- Background style
- Facecam extraction and placement
Manual mode provides full control over how the vertical stream is generated.
Manual framing settings
Background
Choose between a blurred background (blurs the horizontal video to fill the frame) or a solid black background.
Zoom and crop
Increase the vertical size of the video by cropping the sides, or use the 100% setting to fill the entire frame.
Vertical shift
Move the video vertically by this number of pixels. Negative values move it up, positive values move it down. Disabled when Zoom factor is 100%.
Crop horizontal shift
Move the video crop position horizontally. Negative values move it left, positive values move it right. Disabled when no cropping is applied.
Facecam extraction
Streamrun can extract and crop the facecam directly from an incoming horizontal stream and show it as a separate element, creating a near-native vertical experience. Define the facecam region by specifying x, y, width, and height coordinates relative to the incoming 1920×1080 stream.
Facecam extraction
Enable to crop the facecam from the incoming 1920×1080 stream and display it separately in the vertical frame.
X, Y, Width, Height
Define the facecam coordinates and dimensions. The cropped facecam's width matches the vertical frame's width and height maintains the aspect ratio.
Facecam vertical shift
Adjust the vertical position of the facecam. Negative values move it up, positive values move it down.
