Where to Place Captions and Titles in Vertical Video
Where should text go in a vertical demonstration?
Place text where it remains readable without covering the action or colliding with platform controls. Plan this space during capture; add captions in the destination or a suitable tool if the required text treatment is unavailable in VidFuego.
Put it into practice
- Identify the face, hands and product areas that must stay visible throughout the take.
- Leave a quiet region in the composition instead of reserving a strip that moves across important detail.
- Preview the actual text size and line breaks on a phone before publishing the post.
Reserve space with the actual movement
For a talking-head explanation above a tabletop view, avoid placing captions over the tool contact point. Rehearse the line where you lift the object because it may enter the reserved text area. If the caption is essential for understanding, shorten it or change the camera position rather than shrinking it beyond comfortable reading.
Questions creators ask
What should you leave clear around a title?
Leave the essential hand action, face or product label unobstructed. Reserve the space during framing rather than discovering the conflict after the main take.
How should you check the captioned version?
Review the actual caption treatment with destination controls visible. Correct names and measurements, and check that viewers can still follow the demonstration.
A mistake to avoid
A title that fits the desktop canvas may cover an entire demonstration pane on a phone.

Before the full take
Review a saved portrait export at phone size. Check faces, demonstrations, interface overlays and audio together before uploading the same file to each destination.
Record a short test, review the picture and sound, then adjust the setup. A rehearsal on your actual devices is the quickest way to check whether the workflow fits the scene.
