Livestream VOD → Square pin / image
Take a livestream vod to a square pin / image. A workflow decides the cut, the safe-zone, the captions, and the export preset - not just the format.
The decision that matters: The right transformation depends on which words / frames survive at the target format. Validate before deciding.
Step by step
- Check the source file
Use the File Doctor to confirm container, codec, duration, resolution, and file size before deciding anything.
File Doctorproduct-backed - Match the target aspect ratio
Calculate the centred cover-crop / pad that hits the target frame without distortion.

Per-platform bitrate, codec, and safe-zone. The platform constraint registry is the source of truth.

What this path cannot do
- Workflow outputs depend on the source - a 60-minute podcast produces ~10 vertical clips, not 60.
- Per-platform captions and safe-zones are platform-specific, not generic.
