Face-follow vertical video: common questions
How does it know where the person is?
If your browser has face detection (FaceDetector, available only in some browsers), it uses it. If not, it looks for where there is movement in the picture. Everything runs on your device, with no cloud models.
What if the crop gets it wrong?
You can nudge it with “Nudge to one side”, make it move more slowly, or choose “Fixed, my choice” and place it wherever you want.
Does it work with two people?
It follows the largest face or the main movement. For a conversation between two, a fixed framing in the centre usually works better.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs inside your browser: videos are read and processed on your device and are not sent to Cocuyo or to any third party. The libraries are served from our own site, with no external services. You can check it in your browser’s network tools: your file is not sent.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can try it before signing up; to download the result we ask for a free account, with no subscription. Your free account comes with 30 welcome uses; after that, each use costs 1 credit (top-ups from US$1), and they are unlimited with Basic or Pro. It never adds a watermark.
What are the limits?
Videos up to 300 MB and 10 minutes that your browser can play (MP4, WebM or MOV), with output up to 1080p. Saving video needs WebCodecs, found in recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari; if it is missing, we tell you.
