FYI, Center Active Speaker is available in the app today, though it's still in BETA so some issues are still present. https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/27137505139853-Look-Good-Actions

Autofocus for Multiwindow Zoom meetings (One audio and one video file)
Aryanne Lombres
My client would make me edit videos of their Zoom meeting for a podcast but the problem is I have to automatically focus their faces every time someone speaks (and sometimes listening too) and i would need to crop the video to their own Zoom window. The faster thing I did was make a template of each of their faces from the Zoom meeting window and just pick that template whenever they speak (which also would be easier if there is an option to automatically separate scenes between speakers). I wish there was a way to assign a template for each speaker and then we can automatically focus from there. I know this can be easily done if they were using SquadCast but these days, they only use Zoom meetings with both their faces in the window so it's like I have to manually zoom them in whenever they speak.

For videos shot in a studio with one camera - automatically focus the frame on a speaker would save a lot of time instead of cropping each scene manually or copying the layout for each scene.
Like a mixture of close up and wide shots, not just hovering over the person talking the whole time.
