Protect information before decoration
Keep required disclosures, prices, product names, and key subtitles away from common interface controls. Decorative text can tolerate more variation than information the viewer must read.
Vertical video frame check
Check a frame before you publish it.
Load a cover or key frame and compare approximate TikTok, Shorts, and Reels interface obstruction areas.
Publishing check
Use the overlay as a warning, not an official template
Check the real publishing screen
Caption length, device size, account features, and platform updates can change the visible interface. Open the final draft in the target platform before publishing an important campaign.
Keep a clean master file
Exporting a reference image is useful for review, but retain an unmarked master. The overlay is a production note and should not become part of the delivered creative.
