/ Do I need to change my production workflow?

Not at all.

With Wildmoka Auto ReZone™, you simply send your regular live linear TV feeds to the Wildmoka cloud and Auto ReZone™ does the rest. Our solution transposes horizontal content into a vertical format in seconds so you can stream the same content live in vertical.  Auto ReZone™ is a pure cloud-based SaaS solution. No hardware is needed, and no extra editing staff are required.

/ Can I define my own editorial style for vertical?

Absolutely.
Wildmoka’s AI/ML-based solution identifies the different zones of interest in your original 16:9 linear TV production and reorganizes them in real-time into a vertical 9:16 format with the editorial style you have defined.
