# Prompt for Safe Zones

## Action

When generating vertical video for social media, explicitly include the phrase **"use short-form video safe zones"** in your [[concept-claude-code|Claude Code]] prompt.

## Outcome

Text and graphics will be positioned within the safe central region of the 9:16 frame, remaining visible across:

- TikTok
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts

This avoids overlap with platform UI (search bar, captions, like/share rail, profile icons).

## Why It Matters

See [[concept-safe-zones]] for the full UI-overlap rationale. Particularly important when posting cross-platform via [[entity-product-blotato|Blotato]] — you cannot reposition text per platform once the video is rendered.
