PRODUCTION LINE — VERTICAL VIDEO

EDITING STALLED?

Send what's already shot.
Keep the clips going out on schedule.

The footage keeps coming in — a podcast recorded and untouched, an interview shot the wrong way round, a recording nobody's had time to cut. One editing bottleneck and the channel goes quiet for a week, then a month. Send us what's sitting there — pick your situation below — and it comes back a finished vertical clip, on schedule.

THREE SITUATIONS WE SEE

What you came here with

"I've got an hour-long podcast and no shorts."

One long recording → three standalone clips

We watch the full recording and pull out three moments that work on their own — not just the sections between silences. Each comes back as a finished vertical clip: cut, captioned, ready to post.

Output: 3 vertical clips, ~20-40s each · captions burned in · 48-hour turnaround.

"It's shot horizontal, I need it vertical."

Reframe with the speaker tracked, not a static crop

The crop follows the person talking through the frame instead of sitting fixed in the middle — so nobody ends up cut in half when they lean or turn.

This is part of every edit here, not a paid add-on — some editors charge extra to reformat for vertical, ours doesn't.

Output: 9:16 vertical, speaker-tracked crop · captions and clean audio included.

"There's good content in here, but it's hard to sit through."

Cut the dead air, hold the pace, caption every word

Silences and false starts trimmed, pacing tightened, word-by-word captions, audio brought to a consistent, clean level — a clip that's ready to post as-is, not one you still have to sit down and fix.

Output: trimmed vertical edit · word-level captions · normalized audio · 48-hour turnaround.

WHY THIS GETS MEASURED

Measured, not eyeballed

This isn't about being careful for its own sake — a caption that drifts or audio that clips is a clip that comes back for a redo, and a redo is days you don't get back. So the same two checks run on every edit before it ships, not eyeballed, not a one-off for this page. Ask any editor for their own numbers on these two things — most won't have an answer, because most don't measure.

01

Caption position

Measured with
style_probe.py — samples the caption's bounding box across 40 frames of the rendered clip and logs its Y-position in pixels.
Measured on
Every clip we ship, and the same check run on a comparable clip from another editor's public portfolio.
What it means
A tight range means the caption holds one safe position instead of jumping frame to frame. Ours: 210px range. The comparison clip: 494–1644px.
02

Audio loudness

Measured with
ffmpeg -af loudnorm=print_format=summary — reports integrated loudness (LUFS) and true peak (dBTP) for the finished mix.
Measured on
Every clip we ship, and the same comparison clip.
What it means
Broadcast norm caps true peak at −1 dBTP. Ours: −14 LUFS, no clipping. The comparison clip clipped its peak.

Competitor left un-named: the numbers are checkable against the method above, a name isn't the point.

WHO'S BEHIND THIS

I'm Anton.

I'm an automation engineer. Before this, I built production lines — the kind that turn raw material into a consistent product, batch after batch, with tolerances checked, not guessed. Anton ReelForge is the same idea pointed at video: footage goes in, a finished vertical clip comes out, and it's built the same way every time.

That's also why this page measures instead of just claiming — it's the habit the line is built on.

—

Built to run, not to impress.

Everything above came off the same line you'd be sending your footage to — same crop, same captions, same checks, same 48 hours. No showreel edit, no one-off polish for this page.

If what comes back isn't right, say so — we revise it, we don't hand it back and call it done.
