What Gaze Correction Does and Does Not Affect

Gaze Correction in OneTake is designed to improve perceived eye contact in a video while leaving the rest of the content unchanged. The feature applies a focused visual adjustment and does not modify other parts of the video.

What Gaze Correction Affects

When enabled, Gaze Correction affects:

The direction of the eyes in the video
How directly the speaker appears to look at the camera

The adjustment is subtle and applied consistently across the video to maintain a natural appearance.

What Gaze Correction Does Not Affect

Gaze Correction does not change:

Head position or posture
Facial expressions
Body movement
Audio quality or timing
Video cuts or pacing
Layout, framing, or cropping
Background or lighting
Captions or subtitles

All other edits and enhancements remain exactly as they were.

Interaction With Other Editing Features

Gaze Correction operates independently from other editing features. Enabling or disabling it does not override or interfere with:

Video styles and layouts
Background removal
Virtual Cameraman
Soundtrack settings

Each feature is applied as its own processing step.

Visual Expectations

The purpose of Gaze Correction is to improve natural eye contact, not to create a noticeable visual effect. The correction is intended to be unintrusive and blend seamlessly with the original footage.

If the eyes are not clearly visible in the video or are heavily obstructed, results may vary.

Gaze Correction focuses only on eye direction and leaves the rest of the video untouched.
