TAP A LAYER — SAME CONTROLS AS THE RESOLVE INSPECTOR

REAL PROOF, NOT A MOCKUP

Same clip. Same edit. See what's gone.

No stock footage, no simulation — this is one clip, exported once, then posted once. Left is what was shot. Right is what actually plays back inside Instagram.

The same clip live inside Instagram, where the top and bottom get covered by Instagram's own interface

LIVE · INSIDE RESOLVE

Safe Zones, Unsafe Margins and the UI Clearance Marker — switched on live inside the Resolve Inspector. The real plugin, screen-recorded, not a rendered mockup.

PREDICTED vs REAL FrameBounds safe-zone overlay, screen-recorded live inside the Instagram app, showing the predicted unsafe zones lining up with what Instagram actually covers

FrameBounds safe-zone overlay, screen-recorded live inside the Instagram app, showing the predicted unsafe zones lining up with what Instagram actually covers

FrameBounds flagged these zones during the edit, before the clip was ever posted. This is that same guide, captured live inside the app — lined up with what Instagram actually covers.

HOW IT WORKS

You're editing a frame you don't actually see.

Instagram's own UI sits on top of your Reel after upload — profile name, caption, the action-icon column, the sound bar. Inside Resolve, none of that is visible. FrameBounds makes it visible while you cut.

IG UI CLEARANCE

01 — SAFE ZONES

The real overlay, straight out of Resolve.

A guaranteed-visible core (green), plus independently-toggled crop-risk margins on every edge (red) — measured against how Instagram actually crops and covers uploaded Reels, not a rough estimate.

CORE 1.0 · TOP/BOTTOM 0.5 · SIDES 0.25

02 — UI CLEARANCE MARKER

Where the like, comment and share column sits.

A dedicated marker on the right edge, so your composition never fights Instagram's own interface for the same space.

DEFAULT OPACITY 0.6

03 — COMPOSITION GRID

Rule of thirds, 4×4, center cross — combinable.

Turn on any mix, adjust opacity and line weight, leave the rest off. No nodes to build — everything lives in one Inspector.

FAQ

A few things people ask first.

Does FrameBounds affect my export?+

No. It's an on-timeline guide only — disable the effect or the adjustment clip before your final render, and your footage renders exactly as shot.

Free or Studio?+

Both. FrameBounds is a Fusion effect and installs the same way in DaVinci Resolve Free and Studio.

Is this affiliated with Instagram?+

No. FrameBounds is an independent third-party editing aid, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta or Instagram.

Can I get a refund?+

FrameBounds is a digital product delivered instantly after purchase, so all sales are final. This page shows exactly what you're getting before you buy — the real overlay demo and real screenshots above are the actual product, not a preview of something different.
