Vertical Frame

The Vertical Frame element automatically converts a horizontal video into a vertical format, making it ready for platforms that prefer portrait viewing. You can choose between a blurred or solid black background to fill the extra space, and apply zoom to the horizontal video for a polished look.

This allows you to repurpose your existing horizontal streams without extra editing, so you can reach mobile audiences more easily.

Add a PNG Overlay element after the Vertical Frame to include additional graphics in your stream. For example, promote your horizontal main stream in the vertical live.

Extracting facecam from the incoming horizontal stream

Streamrun can extract and crop the facecam directly from an incoming horizontal stream and show it as a separate element, making it easy to create a nearly native vertical experience. You can crop the facecam by defining the x, y, width, and height relative to the incoming 1920x1080 stream.

Settings

• Background
  • Blurred or 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 if Zoom factor is 100% and the video fills the whole frame
• Crop horizontal shift
  • Move the video crop position horizontally by this number of pixels. Negative values move it left; positive values move it right. If your zoom level is zero, nothing is being cropped and this setting is disabled.
• Facecam extraction
  • Crop the facecam from the incoming 1920×1080 stream and display it separately in the vertical frame.
  • Define webcam's x and y coordinates and width and height. Cropped facecam's width will be equal to the Vertical frame's width and height will maintain the aspect ration
  • Define the facecam’s x and y coordinates, as well as its width and height. The cropped facecam’s width will match the vertical frame’s width, and the height will be calculated automatically by maintaining the aspect ratio.
  • Adjust the vertical position by defining a vertical shift. Negative values move the facecam up, while positive values move it down.
