Center Active Speaker automatically keeps whoever’s talking in frame, so you don’t crop by hand or slice the video into extra scenes. This AI tool is ideal for wide-angle recordings where multiple people appear on a single video track. Descript detects when a speaker changes and adjusts the framing to keep them centered.
