16:9 landscape safe zone template
The 16:9 landscape safe zone covers a 1920×1080 frame with the classic broadcast guides. Action-safe is a 5 percent inset, roughly 96 px on the sides and 54 px top and bottom. Title-safe is a tighter 10 percent inset, about 192 px and 108 px, for lower-thirds, captions and any on-screen text.
Landscape video runs on YouTube, LinkedIn and X, plus the odd TV app, and each can trim the edges slightly. Keeping subjects inside action-safe and text inside title-safe means your lower-thirds and titles never touch the frame edge, whatever screen the viewer happens to be on.

Where the 16:9 Landscape UI sits
These are the margins the template reserves on a 1920 × 1080 frame. Keep text and logos out of them.
16:9 Landscape safe-zone best practices
- Lower-thirds inside title-safe. Titles, name straps and captions belong in the 10 percent inset, roughly 192 px from the sides. That's the classic lower-third zone and it survives edge crop everywhere.
- Keep action in action-safe. Anything the viewer needs to see, faces, hands, product, stays inside the 5 percent inset. TVs and some apps overscan, and action-safe is your protection against it.
- One export, many platforms. A 16:9 cut runs on YouTube, LinkedIn and X. They trim edges by slightly different amounts, so these broadcast margins keep a single export safe across all of them.
- Mind the corners. Progress bars, CC toggles and duration labels appear over the bottom corners on some players. Keep persistent logos out of the very bottom-left and bottom-right.
How to use the overlay
- Download the transparent PNG above. The centre is clear, so it sits over your footage without hiding anything.
- Add it as a top layer in Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve, matched to the same resolution.
- Keep text and logos inside the green box, away from the shaded margins.
- Hide the overlay before you export. It is a guide, not part of the final video.
