SN SafeZones
Stop guessing where captions, profile pictures and progress bars will land. SN SafeZones drops onto its own track inside DaVinci Resolve and shows you exactly what Instagram, TikTok and YouTube cover — on the Edit page, while you work, at any resolution. Adobe has plugins for this. DaVinci didn’t. So I built one.

FAQ
How do I install it?
Double click the .drfx file and DaVinci Resolve installs it for you. It then shows up on the Edit page under Effects, in Generators, as SN SafeZones Overlay. Drag it onto an empty track above your footage and you are set.
Does it work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. It works with both DaVinci Resolve (free) and Studio, on macOS and Windows.
Will it affect or render onto my footage?
No. It sits on its own track above your clips as a separate overlay. Nothing is baked into your video, and deleting the clip leaves your footage exactly as it was.
Which platforms does it cover?
Six guides in total: Instagram Stories, Reels and Meta Ads, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and YouTube Horizontal. You can stack as many as you need.
Can I change the colour and opacity?
Yes. There is a single colour swatch using Resolve's own picker, plus an opacity slider, so the guide reads clearly over any footage.
Does it work at 4K?
Yes. The geometry scales from 1080p to 4K and beyond, as long as the timeline orientation matches the guide (vertical or horizontal).
How do I get the file after paying?
Lemon Squeezy emails your download link straight after checkout, and it stays available from your receipt. Delivery is instant.
Do I get future updates?
Yes. When the platforms move their safe zones, the overlay gets rebuilt to match and existing customers get the update for free. No repurchase.
