Safe zone YouTube Shorts overlay
Use Flixier’s safe zone YouTube Shorts overlay to ensure that your video fits within the recommended video dimensions and that your content doesn’t get cropped, stretched out, or covered by the Like, Subscribe, or Comment buttons. Using the YouTibe safe zone feature will make your videos easier to watch and give them a more professional, polished look.
Use AI to generate captions and subtitles
Explore more than the safe zone YouTube Shorts feature! Generate subtitles for your YouTube Shorts with just a few clicks using Flixier’s, customize how they look, and even translate them into different languages automatically, all in your browser. This will help you reach more viewers by making your videos more accessible and making your clips more engaging to viewers who might have their volume turned down.
Save time with an easy-to-use video editor
Our video editor was designed to be as intuitive for beginners as possible. You can toggle the YouTube shorts safe zones on and off with the click of a button. Most of the editing work can be done easily via dragging and dropping, so you can focus on creating content rather than watching video editing tutorials online. It’s never been easier to edit YouTube videos and work with YouTube safe zone elements within the same interface!
Quickly toggle between different safe zones
YouTube Shorts is not the only platform that Flixier offers safe zone support for. You can quickly toggle between TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts safe zone overlays or display them all at the same time to make it easier to design content for all the platforms. If your video is in landscape format, Flixier will give you the option to overlay a regular YouTube safe zone for desktop videos.
How do you toggle on YouTube Shorts safe zones in the Flixier online video editor?
Start by logging into your Flixier account and creating a new project to use the safe zone YouTube Shorts feature. If you don’t have an account, you can just click on Get Started to open the app in your web browser. Then, click on the empty space next to the video canvas and select a vertical aspect ratio (like 9:16, aka 1080x1920) from the menu on the right side of the screen.
Go to the Show Video Safe Zones option and click the little YouTube icon to toggle the safe zone YouTube shorts feature. If you want to, you can also click the All button to display safe zones for other vertical video platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels. Afterward, you can bring videos over from your computer (or click the Import button to add them from online sources) and start putting your video together.
When you’re done creating your video, click on the Export button in the top right corner of the screen. Select Video from the dropdown list and then click on Export and Download. Your video will be processed and saved to your computer in minutes. If you have a Flixier account, you can also publish your video straight to your YouTube channel without downloading it first. And voilà, you’ve successfully used the YouTube safe zone feature!

What people say about Flixier
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.
I'm so relieved I found Flixier. I have a YouTube channel with over 700k subscribers and Flixier allows me to collaborate seamlessly with my team, they can work from any device at any time plus, renders are cloud powered and super super fast on any computer.
