When to Make Corrections

Smart Reframe gets the framing right about 75% of the time. Common scenarios where you’ll want to adjust:
  • Action shots where the subject moves quickly
  • Wide shots with multiple subjects
  • Artistic compositions where center framing isn’t desired
  • Product shots where the AI tracked a person instead of the product

The Correction Workflow

1. Identify the Problem

Play through the preview using the format toggle buttons. Switch between 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 to check each crop. The HUD overlay shows the current shot number and timecode.

2. Describe the Fix

Open the chat panel and tell Verne what needs to change. Be specific about which shot and how much to move:
“Shot 5 is cutting off the product on the right — shift it left 25%”
or more concisely:
“shift shot 5 left 25%“

3. Review the Preview Image

Verne generates a frame grab showing exactly how the corrected crop looks. Compare it to what you see in the preview monitor.

4. Iterate

Not right yet? Keep adjusting:
  • “more” — repeats the same adjustment
  • “too much, back off to 10%” — reduces the correction
  • “undo that” — removes the last change entirely
  • “shift it 10% more to the right” — adds to the existing correction

5. Stack Multiple Corrections

You can fix several shots before rendering. Corrections accumulate:
“shift shot 3 left 20%” “move shot 8 up 15%” “zoom in on shot 12 by 10%“

6. Apply

When all corrections look good:
“apply it”
Versionary re-renders the preview and updates the export files. Wait for the confirmation before clicking Approve & Continue.

Tips

  • Start with the most important shots. You don’t need to fix every frame — focus on hero shots and close-ups.
  • Use timecodes for precision. Instead of “shot 5,” try “at :04” to target a specific moment.
  • Check all formats. A correction to 9:16 doesn’t affect 1:1 or 4:5 — each format has independent crop positioning.
  • Apply once at the end. Stack all your corrections, then apply them in one pass for efficiency.
