Try the toolSo one vertical video works everywhere. FeedVisuals exports these three formats as MP4 (H.264, 30 frames per second), which all these apps accept.
Hidden areas
In vertical videos, the apps put things on top: tabs or the progress bar at the top, the caption and account name at the bottom, the button column (like, comment, share) on the right. Keep your text in the middle: the tool does it for you.
Hidden or cropped by the appSafe zone for text
In the Instagram profile grid, only the middle of the video shows: put your title in the middle of the first slide.
Posting
- Save the MP4, or share it from your phone.
- In Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, create a Reel, a video or a Short and pick the file.
- Add music and the caption in the app.
For a photo carousel on TikTok, see the TikTok photo carousel guide. The full video tool is on this page.

Approximate zones: the interface changes with the phone and the caption length. Lay the overlay on top of your edit, in CapCut or Canva.
