Where Instagram Reels covers your video
Instagram recommends keeping text and logos out of the top 108px and bottom 420px of a 1080×1920 Reel.
The caption block grows with longer captions — assume the bottom fifth of the frame is covered.
Reels shared to the feed get cropped to 4:5, so keep the essential action in the center 1080×1350 region too.
