Ask anyone who makes fancam edits how long one takes, and nobody says five minutes. The YouTube tutorial How to make Kpop Fanfictions on Capcut! walks through planning, editing and designing visuals across CapCut and Picsart, and its creator says the video alone took about five hours to put together. That’s the tutorial, never mind your own edit.
That is the workflow Samsung is aiming at with My FanCam, the feature leading One UI 9, which starts rolling out from 21 September 2026 to the Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra before reaching other eligible Galaxy phones and tablets in phases. It’s a free update, so the only thing standing between an S26 owner and a one-tap fancam is the Settings prompt.
What an Edit Costs You Now
The quality-obsessed route adds another layer entirely. QUALITY TUTORIAL K-POP STYLE CAPCUT PRO has editors sourcing high-resolution clips, dialling in sharpen, contrast, saturation and clarity values by hand, setting export resolution and frame rate, then running the finished file through an AI restoration app for an ultra-HD pass. Three separate phases, one 15-second clip.
There is a fast lane, and it’s the templates. CapCut’s own trend guides tell users to search a K-pop template, tap “use template”, drop in around 19 photos of their bias, and let the app apply the effects, which turns an evening into a few minutes. The catch is that a template edit looks like everyone else’s template edit, because it is.
How My FanCam Works
Samsung’s support documentation for My FanCam lays out a workflow short enough to read in one breath. Open the Gallery, choose a recorded video, tap the Galaxy AI icon, then the My FanCam icon, and Galaxy AI detects the people in the frame for you.
From there you tap the “+” to pick the person to follow, choose an aspect ratio, and tap “Follow”. Galaxy AI tracks that person through the clip, keeps them centred, and reframes the footage as the scene moves. Preview it, tap “Save copy”, and the edited version lands beside your untouched original. Samsung says the processing happens on the device rather than in the cloud.
The word doing the heavy lifting is recorded. This isn’t a shooting mode you have to switch on before the moment happens, which is exactly when nobody remembers it exists. It runs on the wide, shaky, everybody-in-frame footage already sitting in your Gallery from three concerts ago.
Read the Small Print
The limits come straight from Samsung’s own materials, and they’re worth knowing before anyone deletes an original file. My FanCam needs a Samsung Account login, availability may vary by video, it won’t work if there’s no subject to track, and Samsung states plainly that accuracy of results is not guaranteed. Anyone who has filmed from the back of a hall at 11pm knows which clips that sentence is about.
So does this rewrite the fancam workflow? Partly, and honestly that’s still a lot. My FanCam takes the most tedious stage, tracking one person across a moving wide shot and cropping to vertical, and reduces it to picking a face and an aspect ratio. What it does not do is text, transitions, beat-matched cuts, colour grading or AI upscaling, which is most of what those CapCut tutorials spend their five hours on.
The realistic outcome is that CapCut stays open and gets handed a far better starting file. Your first twenty minutes of keyframing disappear, and the edit begins with your bias already centred and already vertical. For anyone who films group performances and then abandons the footage because framing it is a whole evening’s work, that’s the difference between posting and not posting!
The Rest of the Update, Briefly
Everything else in One UI 9 is housekeeping, useful housekeeping at that. Now Brief gets Generative and Editable Cards so you pick which health, weather and video cards appear in your daily summary, Now Nudge surfaces reservation details or a shared location without leaving your chat, and Creative Studio suggests image prompts ahead of occasions like a friend’s birthday.
Warranty and Care is the quiet winner, putting warranty coverage, self-diagnostics, repair estimates and Samsung Care+ management into Settings instead of across three websites. Document Scan handles curved book pages, Interpreter adds a Thread View for scrolling back through translated conversations, and Voice Recorder summaries arrive with headings and tables. On the security side, Security Brief and Privacy Alerts surface malware warnings and background permission grabs, while Scam Detection expands to Japan, Canada and India.
📅 Rollout begins: 21 September 2026
📱 First devices: Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra
✅ Already running One UI 9: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8

💰 Galaxy S26 RRP in Singapore: From S$1,438 (12GB + 256GB), sold through M1, Singtel, StarHub and Samsung’s own stores
One UI 9 debuted on the Z8 foldables, the same order DANAMIC saw with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 generation, so anyone outside the S26 line is waiting on a later phase rather than missing out for good. Device eligibility and the full feature list sit on the Samsung Newsroom, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8 announcement that introduced One UI 9. Check Settings from 21 September, then go dig out that concert video you gave up on, because the cropping is somebody else’s problem now!
