AI Auto-Reframing & Positioning

VEED's AI system doesn't just 'crop' the video; it automatically detects the subject (the person speaking) and ensures they remain centered, even if the original video was in landscape format.

AI Scoring System

Don't waste time watching every clip. Focus on the ones with high AI scores, as the system has analyzed which parts have the best flow to maintain viewer retention.

AI Transcription Accuracy

While VEED’s AI is highly efficient at speech and spelling recognition, always double-check your captions in the 'Edit' section to ensure technical terms or proper nouns are spelled correctly before exporting.
