Understanding Safe Areas
Action Safe Area
The outer safe zone where all critical visual action should occur. Content in this area may be partially cut off on some displays but important action will remain visible.
- • Modern HD: 5% margin (3.5% for 4K+)
- • Keep important visuals inside
- • Background elements can extend beyond
Title Safe Area
The innermost safe zone where all text and graphics must be placed. Anything in this area is guaranteed to be visible on all displays.
- • Modern HD: 10% margin (5% for 4K+)
- • Required for subtitles, lower thirds
- • Logos and text must fit here
