Social Guide

See exactly what Instagram, TikTok and YouTube will cover, before you export.

Free & Studio$5

What it does

Overlay, not a burn-in.

Drop it on a track above your edit and you see the interface zones each platform draws over your frame. Disable the track and your export is clean.

One preset per platform.

Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts. Each preset matches the safe area that platform actually covers with captions, buttons and handles.

Built for vertical, works on any size.

The guide scales to the timeline resolution, so a 1080x1920 project and a 2160x3840 project show the same proportional zones.

No render cost.

It is a Fusion overlay made from native nodes. It does not touch your image and it does not need to be removed before delivery — just hidden.

Honest notes

What it can't do.

Platforms move their interface. When a layout changes we update the preset, but there can be a gap between their change and our update.
It shows zones, it does not reframe anything for you. Repositioning your shot is still your job.
Labels are English only.
It is a guide overlay: if you leave the track enabled, it exports.
