Face Tracking Camera: Auto-Frame Your Face for Vertical Video
Creavit Studio finds your face in the camera recording and keeps it in frame as you move. Reframe a landscape screen + camera recording to 9:16 without losing your face, and blur faces that appear on your screen — with detection running on your Mac.

Three Things Face Tracking Does
Follow your face in the camera layer, reframe to vertical, and hide other faces on screen.
01
Follow Face
Turn on Follow face in the camera settings and your face stays in the visible area of the camera layer. When you lean, shift or stand up, the frame glides along instead of cutting you off.
02
Landscape to 9:16 With Your Layouts
Switch the canvas to 9:16 and choose a full-camera layout for a talking-head clip, or a stacked layout with the camera above the screen. Layouts are timeline objects, so different parts of the video can use different ones.
03
Your Face Kept in Frame Automatically
In the vertical layout the camera crop follows your face, so you are not stuck at the edge of a narrow frame when you move around during the recording.
04
Auto-Blur Faces on Screen
Turn on Auto-blur faces for the screen recording to hide other people's faces — for example participants in a video call. Choose Blur, Pixelate or Solid, and set Intensity and Padding.
05
Detection Runs on Your Mac
Faces are detected on the Mac with the system face detector (Apple Vision on macOS), with an on-device UltraFace model as a fallback. Detection results are cached.
06
Works With Any Camera Layer
Follow face works on the camera layer, including an iPhone used as a camera. Layouts, masks and background removal still apply on top of it.
Why Framing Breaks in Vertical Video
A camera recording made for a landscape video usually has you in the middle of a wide frame with room around you. Crop that to 9:16 and there is very little room left: lean to one side to point at the screen and half your face leaves the frame. Fixing it by hand means adding crop keyframes every time you move. Follow face replaces that work by tracking your face through the recording and moving the crop with you, so the vertical version holds up without a frame-by-frame pass.
From Landscape Recording to 9:16 Post
Record once in landscape with your screen and camera, as you would for YouTube. When you need a Short, Reel or TikTok from the same take, switch the canvas to 9:16 and pick a layout: full camera for a talking-head clip, or a stacked layout to keep the screen below you. Every change is part of the undo history, so you can step back and compare. With Follow face on, the narrow vertical crop moves with you in either layout.
Hiding Faces You Did Not Mean to Share
Screen recordings of meetings and video calls often show other people who did not agree to be in your video. Auto-blur faces looks for faces in the screen recording and covers them with a blur, pixelation or a solid block. Padding adds extra room around each face for hair and ears, and Intensity sets how strong the effect is. Like the other face features, the detection runs on your Mac, so the video does not need to be uploaded anywhere for this step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How face tracking works in the Creavit Studio editor.
How do I make the camera follow my face?
In the editor's camera settings, turn on Follow face. Your face is kept in the visible area of the camera layer and the frame glides along when you move.
How do I turn a landscape recording into a vertical video?
Switch the canvas to 9:16, then choose a full-camera layout or a stacked layout with the camera above the screen. Turn on Follow face so the narrower crop keeps your face in frame. Undo brings the previous layout back.
Can I blur other people's faces in my screen recording?
Yes. Turn on Auto-blur faces for the screen recording. You can choose Blur, Pixelate or Solid, and adjust Intensity and Padding (extra room around each face).
Is my video uploaded for face detection?
No. Detection runs on your Mac using the system face detector (Apple Vision on macOS), with an on-device UltraFace model as a fallback.
Does Follow face work with an iPhone camera?
Yes. The iPhone camera arrives as a normal camera layer, so Follow face, layouts, masks and background removal apply to it like any other camera.
Can I still frame the camera manually?
Yes. Turn Follow face off and set the visible area of the camera yourself.
