Make sure your message is always visible with video safe zones 

When editing videos for social media, it’s important to remember that different platforms have different interface elements that can cover up parts of your video if you aren’t careful. Video safe zones allow you to keep track of these elements while editing your video to ensure it will display correctly regardless of platform or device. Our online editor allows you to toggle safe zones on or off easily, supporting all vertical video-sharing platforms. If you create content for multiple platforms, you can have them all toggled on simultaneously to ensure compatibility. On top of our integrations, this makes it easy to repurpose content and create professional-looking videos for social media.

I’ve been looking for a solution like Flixier for years. Now that my virtual team and I can edit projects together on the cloud with Flixier, it tripled my company’s video output! Super easy to use and unbelievably quick exports.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.
