Is it possible to manually adjust or reframe the crop when converting let's say a landscape podcast into portrait format for shorts or reels, so the resulting clips are better composed?
I saw the use cases, and a lot of the images are identical to Transcript.lol, which was on AppSumo. Are these two companies associated with one another?
i bought 3 codes for Castmagic in 2023. i have 600 minutes per month (10 hours) but also can invite team members.
how am i to make sense of upgrading. the Tier 1 now only allows one seat. i'm not able to do this Tier 2 just to get my team seats. and would this be added? i don't need 10 hours + 15 minus seats.
can you help clarify before deal ends?
i'm surprised there is nothing in the FAQ about previous plans. Castmagic sends a ton of email but nothing about this.
