Samsung introduces My FanCam post-recording subject tracking for Galaxy AI
The new feature in One UI 9 enables users to select and automatically reframe video around a specific subject after recording.
The short version
- Samsung launched My FanCam, an AI-powered editing tool that reframes existing videos around a single chosen subject.
- The tool operates within the Samsung Gallery app post-recording, allowing users to choose custom aspect ratios for tracking shots.
- The feature debuted on the Galaxy Z Fold8 lineup running One UI 9, though availability will vary across other devices, regions, and languages.
Key facts
- Samsung introduced the My FanCam feature alongside One UI 9 on its Galaxy Z Fold8 series.[Engadget]
- My FanCam uses Galaxy AI to identify subjects, track a selected person, and adjust aspect ratios in already-recorded footage.[Engadget]
- Unlike Samsung's Auto framing tool, which adjusts composition live during recording, My FanCam functions exclusively as a post-recording edit.[Engadget]
- The tool cannot track subjects outside the original recorded frame and will fail to execute if Galaxy AI cannot detect a subject.[Engadget]
What remains uncertain
- Samsung has not guaranteed full tracking accuracy, and feature availability may vary by device, region, and language despite receiving One UI 9.[Engadget]
