What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
Is AI Eye Contact correction free?
Kapwing's AI Eye Contact correction requires upgrading to a Pro account, which also unlocks advanced editing features such as Smart Cut, Clean Audio, and Split Vocals.
What is eye tracking?
Eye tracking (also known as eye contact correction) is a technology that detects where a person is looking. In video, it's used to monitor eye movement and determine whether someone is making eye contact with the camera or looking elsewhere.
How does an eye tracker work?
Kapwing's eye tracker is powered by Texel, a video optimization API provider. The AI-powered software helps to follow the position and movement of your eyes. In the context of video editing, it detects when your gaze shifts so corrections can be applied to make it look like you're maintaining eye contact.
How do I use AI Eye Contact with a webcam?
To use the online AI Eye Contact correction tool in Kapwing, start by recording your video directly in the browser using the Record feature — you can also turn on the built-in Teleprompter to read your script. After recording, open the video in the editor and apply AI Eye Contact from the right-hand sidebar to enhance your eye alignment and engagement.
Will AI Eye Contact correction distort my face?
No, the correction is subtle and designed to preserve your natural appearance. It adjusts eye movement only, so your facial expressions and overall look remain unchanged.
Why is eye contact important for viewers?
Eye contact helps build trust and keeps viewers engaged. When someone appears to speak directly to the camera, the message feels more personal — which can improve viewer retention and connection. Research from Stanford University highlights how powerful eye contact is in digital communication, noting that mutual gaze is a key social cue that shapes how we connect with others, even through screens.
Can I use AI Eye Contact correction for live-streaming?
No, Kapwing’s online correction tool works in post-production, so it can’t be applied during a live stream. It’s designed for editing recorded video content.
How long does it take to apply AI Eye Contact correction?
For videos under one minute, fixing eye contact with AI usually takes just a few seconds. Longer videos may take a little more time depending on the file size and length, but the process is still quick.
How does AI eye tracking correct eye contact?
Kapwing uses AI eye tracking to analyze the direction of a speaker’s gaze and identify when their eyes move away from the camera. Eye Contact then redirects off-camera eye movements toward the lens, creating the appearance of direct eye contact while preserving natural facial expressions.
This eye tracking AI is useful for correcting videos where you’re reading from a script, checking notes, following a presentation, or looking at your screen instead of directly into the camera. Apply the correction after recording, preview the result in Kapwing, and continue editing the same video without having to reshoot your footage.
