Platform Variance Notice

Instagram renders captions differently depending on client screen scale, device aspect ratio (e.g. 19.5:9 on modern OLED devices), and OS font sizes. Always ensure primary branding, speech, and product focal points sit comfortably inside the central 1:1 safe core.

  2. Inspect UI Overlays

    Toggle right action columns, caption blocks, and profile grid cropping to spot text overlap, hidden subtitles, or awkward facial alignments.

    Generate an annotated client proof or overlay template to drop right into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut for precise positioning.
