Identify the intended frame
Common shapes include horizontal 16:9, vertical 9:16, and square 1:1, but the actual pixel dimensions and rotation metadata matter. Save a reference frame before processing.
A corner watermark can occupy a much larger portion of a vertical video than a wide one. Keep the mask tight so nearby faces, captions, and interface-safe space remain intact.

Distinguish crop, scale, and pad
Cropping removes picture area, scaling changes dimensions, and padding adds borders. Stretching changes geometry and should not be used merely to fit a preset.
Use a delivery preset that matches the intended composition, then inspect circles, faces, text, and logos for distortion. Keep any added bars deliberate and consistent.
Review the target environment
Phone interfaces, embedded players, projectors, and social apps can place controls over different areas. Important content should remain visible in the actual destination.
Wipe AI’s maximum documented output is 1080p. Do not promise an unchanged higher-resolution deliverable; compare the output dimensions and choose a source-first workflow when requirements exceed that limit.
Document the finished edit
Keep the untouched source, decision notes, and approved export together. Record why the edit was authorized, which time ranges changed, and which source-first options were checked. The intended task for this page is: Informational how-to: preserve framing and aspect ratio through authorized video cleanup and delivery.
Before delivery, verify duration, aspect ratio, audio sync, and every repaired boundary in the real viewing environment. Wipe AI accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV, then exports H.264 MP4 up to 1080p. It processes one video at a time; results depend on overlay size, motion, and background complexity, and output may be re-encoded.
Frequently asked questions
No. They are vertical and horizontal orientations with different compositions.
It can produce the same ratio while still removing picture content.
No. Current product facts document output up to 1080p.
Player controls and platform scaling can obscure or transform visible areas.
- Is 1080 by 1920 the same as 1920 by 1080?
- Does cropping preserve aspect ratio?
- Can Wipe AI promise 4K output?
- Why test the target app?
How the workflow works
Start with the original project when it is available. If reconstruction is needed, use the smallest area and shortest time range that contains the visible element.
What affects quality?
Camera movement, compression, scene cuts, detailed textures and subjects crossing the selected area all affect temporal consistency.
When should you use another method?
A clean re-export, source edit, crop, tracked patch or clean-plate composite may be more accurate depending on the shot.
AI reconstruction creates a plausible replacement from visible context. It does not recover pixels that were never visible in the source.
