The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Export this 30-second promo as a vertical 9:16 file optimized for TikTok: full resolution for mobile, H.264 codec, AAC audio, and add no metadata that changes aspect. Deliver both a 60fps and 30fps version and name them Promo_TikTok_60fps and Promo_TikTok_30fps by end of day.

Improve — make it easier to accept

The exported vertical file has subtitles partially off-screen on Instagram.

I exported a vertical file for Reels but the subtitles sit too low and get cropped on Instagram. I need to know which safe-area guides to use, how much margin to leave for captions and platform UI, and the quickest way to adjust subtitle position without redoing the whole timeline.

My social team asks for the same clip formatted for multiple apps and I constantly misplace captions or logos for one of them. Where should I standardize composition and what habit will prevent repeat fixes so each export is correct the first time?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
