How to turn a Zoom recording into social clips

A Zoom recording is a wide rectangle with two or more people in little boxes. A social clip is a tall rectangle with one person filling the frame. Getting from one to the other is the part that trips everyone up.

Cropping by hand means you either cut someone out of the frame or freeze on whoever isn't talking. Neither looks like a brand made it.

Reframing is moving the crop so the right person is always in the shot. When the host talks, the frame is on the host. When the guest answers, it follows the guest. For a two-up, a stacked top-and-bottom layout keeps both on screen.

Done manually, that's a constant tug-of-war with keyframes. It's the single most tedious part of turning a call into clips.

Drop your Zoom recording into Castpilot — or paste a Zoom, Riverside, or StreamYard link — and the reframing happens for you. It follows whoever's speaking, and for two people it can stack them top-and-bottom so nobody gets cut.

The same pass finds the share-worthy moments, sizes each clip vertical, captions it, and puts your brand on it. You review and download.

The same follow-the-speaker reframing applies to the main episode, not just the shorts — so your YouTube cut looks intentional instead of a static grid of squares.

And nothing is destructively baked in. The reframing rides on the export, so your original recording stays untouched if you want to change it later.

Grab the Zoom recording from your most recent interview, start a free trial, and drop it in. You'll see properly framed, captioned clips in a few minutes — no keyframes, no cropping fights.
