Reframing Is Creative Work, Not a Simple Crop
A new frame changes what the audience sees
Changing a 16:9 master into a vertical or square deliverable is not merely a technical crop. It changes attention. A reframed image may need to follow a character, protect a key gesture, make room for captions, shift the crop during a conversation, or choose a different image for a dramatic beat.
Those choices deserve an editorial pass. The creator or editor decides what should remain visible and what can move out of frame.
Preserve intent through context
Because Saganode connects a shot to its narrative purpose, the reason behind a composition can stay visible as a clip moves into post-production. That makes reframing more informed without making it automatic.
Adapt the frame. Keep the meaning.
