Talking-Head Short: Converting an interview into a vertical clip with subtitles

An excerpt from a freely licensed interview becomes a 9:16 short: the framing follows the head, subtitles appear word by word, accompanied by a headline, name lower-third, source and clean audio.

Sample work (demo), not a client job. Built as a trial task with invented example data; the check figures below come from the automatic test run and are not polished.

What was built

  • Framing follows the head, kept steady per camera angle
  • Subtitles word by word, the spoken word highlighted
  • Audio cleaned and brought to YouTube loudness standards
  • Source: ZDF Terra X under free license (attribution, share-alike); recording date visible in the image

How it was checked

Automatic test run on 2026-10-31, taken from the log (test data invented, figures measured):

  • 9:16 1080x1920, 29.0 s, -14.4 LUFS, head centered in 6/6 sample checks, Whisper 93 words, NVENC

Limits

What this sample does not cover, so nobody expects more:

  • Material provided by client or freely licensed, with source and date
  • One speaking person per shot; two-person conversations: speaker changes not yet automatic
