Instagram Reels safe zones
For 9:16 Reels, Meta advises keeping the top, bottom and side edges free of key creative elements, text and logos, and leaving the bottom 40% clear when your ad carries disclaimers — the caption, profile icon and call-to-action sit in those zones.

Supported Instagram Reels formats
Export for Instagram Reels from ScriptMotion
No editor round-trip and no manual re-encode. Export the exact generation you’re viewing, formatted for Instagram Reels in one action.
Pick your platforms
Open the export menu on a completed generation and multi-select the platforms your client runs — Instagram Reels on its own, or alongside the others in one pass.
We format each one
ScriptMotion scales and pads your video to the Instagram Reelscanvas automatically. If your source is already the right shape the row shows “Ready”; otherwise it reformats for you.
Every file downloads
Each platform-formatted file renders and downloads — no watermark on any paid plan, commercial use included. Prefer the master? Grab the original in the same menu.
