AI Camera Tracking Issue: Workaround

Overview

The AI Camera Crew feature automatically tracks and focuses on the speaker in your sermon video. However, in some situations, the AI may lose focus on the main speaker or track the wrong subject.

This article explains why this happens and what you can do to get better results.

Why the AI Camera Crew May Lose Focus

The AI Camera Crew works by detecting people and movement in the video. Sometimes, it may track the wrong subject when:

• Multiple people are on stage – The AI may detect and follow someone other than the main speaker
• Equipment is visible in the background – Items like microphone stands, instruments, or stage props may confuse the AI
• The speaker moves too much or too fast – Rapid movement can cause the AI to lose tracking

What's Coming: AI Camera Crew V2

We're working on a new version of the AI Camera Crew with better performance and tracking precision.

Workarounds You Can Use Now

If you're experiencing tracking issues with the AI Camera Crew, here are two alternatives:

Option 1: Use a Horizontal Template

Choose a horizontal (landscape) template and skip the AI Camera Crew feature. This keeps your full video frame visible without automatic tracking.

Option 2: Use a Vertical Template with Wide Shot

Some vertical templates are designed to show the entire horizontal video within the frame—without cropping or tracking.

How to find them:

• Filter templates by Vertical
• Use the tag "Wide Shot"
• Select a template that fits your content style
