Turn on Keep face centered in Layout → Adjust (press A) and Tella moves the camera frame to your face for you. Each layout opens with your face in the middle, and the frame moves to you when you move to a new spot in the shot. It works on camera recordings made in Tella.
Use it when a layout cuts off part of you: the top of your head in a wide fullscreen camera layout, or your face at the edge of a small square or circle bubble. Tella moves the frame up, down, left or right, wherever your face is.
Turn on Keep face centered
- Open your video and select the clip.
- Click Layout, then Adjust, or press
A.
- Under the Camera crop row, turn on Keep face centered.
Play the clip to check: in every layout, your face sits in the middle of the camera frame.
Use it on every clip
Keep face centered applies to the selected clip. To copy it to the other clips, click Apply camera to all clips in Layout → Adjust. That also copies the clip’s camera crop, focus point and mirror setting.
Why don’t I see Keep face centered?
The switch appears once Tella has found a face in that clip’s camera recording. It doesn’t show on clips without a camera recording, on uploaded videos, or on older recordings Tella hasn’t looked for faces in. For those, set the framing yourself: open Crop → Adjust camera and drag the focus point, or crop the camera. See Adjust your camera frame.
Go back to framing the camera by hand
Turn Keep face centered off. The camera goes back to the focus point and crop you set in the crop window. Last modified on November 13, 2026
