Cropping Modes

Cropping controls how the 9:16 frame is chosen from the source video.

Mode	Best for	Behavior
face	talking-head video	uses YuNet and centers the crop on the main face
gameplay	game footage	stable center crop, no face detector
center	generic fallback	stable center crop
auto	conservative defaulting	currently follows the face-tracking path

Content mode

--content-mode changes the LLM prompt, not the crop itself.

Mode	What the analysis looks for
talking-head	strong hooks, complete ideas, useful explanations
gameplay	tension, combat, pursuit, surprise, failure, victory, rare loot, player reaction
auto	generic selection guidance

Recommended combinations

--crop-mode face --content-mode talking-head

--crop-mode gameplay --content-mode gameplay

If you already know the content type, prefer an explicit mode over auto.
