What is safe area?

The safe area of a video is a specific region within the video frame where it's advisable to place essential visual content, such as text or graphics. This is particularly important because the actual video dimensions can vary depending on devices and display formats. Ensuring that crucial content is within the safe area ensures it remains visible on a wide range of devices and screens without being cropped or hidden.
