Questions
How is this different from a centre crop?
A centre crop cuts people off when they move. Captos follows the subject and pans smoothly to keep them framed.
Does it work for two-person podcasts?
Yes. Captos can move between speakers or show them stacked in a split view.
Will the quality drop?
Captos renders at a high bitrate so details stay crisp on a phone screen.
