## No More Blind Spots in Your Vertical Exports

You spend hours perfecting motion graphics for vertical video, only to find out your lower third is buried under Instagram's caption bar. SafeFrame AE ends the guesswork.
SafeFrame AE places transparent platform overlays directly into your After Effects composition -- showing exactly where TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts stack their UI elements. Like buttons, comment sections, search bars, profile icons, share buttons -- all mapped out so your content stays visible.

## Catch Every Collision Before You Export

Overlays show you the danger zones -- Layer Check tells you when you're in them. One click scans your entire After Effects composition and instantly flags every layer that strays outside the safe area, so you never export a title, logo, or call-to-action that ends up buried behind the platform UI.

SafeFrame AE pinpoints each offending layer by its real on-screen position, selects it right in your timeline, and tags it with a colored label -- so full-frame backgrounds stay untouched while the clips that actually collide with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts elements get highlighted in seconds. No frame-by-frame guesswork. No surprise reuploads. Just a clean, safe-zone-checked comp every time.
