FrameOS as a Kamua alternative
Kamua made its name on AI auto-cropping: converting landscape video into portrait with automated cutting and captions. FrameOS covers that job inside a fuller clipping pipeline — moment selection, reframe, captions, and export together.
Auto-crop as one step, not the product
In FrameOS, reframing is one stage of the pipeline: clips are first found and ranked by hook strength, then reframed around the active speaker, then captioned and rendered.
Where FrameOS fits
Use FrameOS when you want portrait conversion plus the clip selection itself — which moments from a long video deserve to become shorts.
