Reframe a video to a different aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9 to 9:16 for vertical content). The system intelligently tracks subjects to keep them in frame.
  • Reframing is asynchronous; use the status endpoint to track progress
  • target specifies the desired aspect ratio (e.g., 9:16, 1:1, 4:3)
  • mode controls the reframing strategy (e.g., auto for intelligent subject tracking)
  • Use callback_url for webhook notification when reframing completes
