About this skill

You say

Frame the bottle in our photo with guides, labelled "Auto-framed".

It said back

I rendered the video, but the final crop box cuts off the top and bottom of the bottle, so it doesn't fully frame it.

The video is launch-scene/framing-guides.mp4. It is 1920×1080 (16:9), 4.7 s and 169 KB, in the swiss look with a red accent. The bottle in photos/6-bottle.jpg sits at about 50% across and 46% down, so I used that as the focus point. The thirds lines draw in, the crop tightens, a focus box locks onto the label, and an "Auto-framed" chip appears. The layout check found no problems.
