Safe Zone Awareness
Keep faces, products, and text clear of captions, player controls, and social interface overlays with interactive framing guides.
A safe zone is the part of the frame that remains visible and legible after captions, titles, player controls, and social interface elements are added. There is no universal pixel-perfect safe area: platforms, devices, and templates change.
- Keep essential faces, products, and text near the center of the frame rather than against an edge.
- Reserve the lower portion for captions without placing a speaker's mouth or a demonstration there.
- Treat the bottom and right edges of vertical video as likely interface zones.
- Keep burned-in text away from the same area your captions will occupy.
- Review the actual branded template and a platform preview before recording a large batch.
For repeatable production, create framing guides for each delivery format and share them with contributors. A simple overlay during recording prevents a surprising crop later.
