AI to turn vertical UGC into widescreen ads for Youtube & TV

UGC ads reframed for Youtube and TV by Outpaint.com. Vertical ads (9:16) expanded into widescreen (16:9) for connected TV, while keeping the original footage pixel perfect. Outperforms pillarboxing and side blur.

Curious how Ad Reframe handles the jump from typical UGC formats into TV-ready creative. Since the tagline is “Convert UGC ads for TV,” are you mainly focused on aspect ratio, pacing, and framing, or does it also help with things like voiceover, captions, safe zones, and length requirements for TV spots? That distinction would be helpful for marketers comparing it with a normal video editor.

Hey @mia_qiao, we're focused on expanding the aspect ratio by generating new content to fill the extra space. It works best for repurposing your winning ads for bigger screens like YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix, etc.
As for a normal video editor, the process is very simple: send us a video link and get back an expanded ad in a few days.
it's nice to see this product reach todays rank#9. We run UGC campaigns and the 9:16 to 16:9 problem comes up constantly whenever we want to extend to CTV or YouTube pre-rolls. The pillarbox blur workaround genuinely looks bad. The real test for us would be fast motion and shaky handheld footage — that's where outpainting usually falls apart. Curious if there's a confidence score on the output so you know which clips need a manual check before the campaign goes live.

@frankgebuilder
Thanks, and great question. Fast motion and shaky handheld is exactly the hard case, so here's a short example that's full of both: https://youtu.be/vQrPm45AM-Y
On the confidence point: rather than relying on an automated score alone, our team reviews every outpainted clip end to end before it ships, so you get back cinema quality results without having to guess which clips need a manual check.

@dannyhabibs thanks, i'll take a look first.
CTV ad spend is growing fast and pillarboxing is genuinely embarrassing to watch on a 65" screen - so this solves a real pain. The key question for me is how the AI handles the expanded areas when there's motion near the edge of the original frame. Static backgrounds are easy; someone walking across frame is where things get tricky. Any samples with fast-moving footage?

Here we expand standard rectilinear 2.39:1 video into IMAX full frame 1.43:1.
Lots of fast motion and shaky cam!

reframing 9:16 to 16:9 without pillarboxing is the part everyone fakes with blur. do the generated edges stay temporally stable across frames, or can they shimmer?
Outpaint - Ad Reframe
@reallynattu yes they stay seamless across frames, cuts and entire scenes.

The "generating new content to fill the extra space" bit is the part I'd worry about most. From my own YouTube edits, added background often pulls the eye away from the actual subject. On winning vertical UGC where attention's locked on someone mid-CTA, does the outpainted area stay quiet enough not to steal the read, or do you see it nudging eyes outward?

@yannikga Take a look for yourself at a few different examples: https://outpaint.com/ad-reframe/examples
We also have complete control, so we can make the outpainted regions more or less exciting depending on what you need.
