get_safe_zone — Get vertical video safe zone
Returns the approximate areas of a vertical (9:16) video frame that the app interface covers on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Stories: unsafe margins in pixels and percent, the safe rectangle for text, the position of the right-hand button column and short placement guidance. Values are measured on 1080x1920 and scaled to the given frame size.

}check_text_position — Check text position against platform UI
Checks whether a rectangular text box (caption, title or logo) on a vertical video frame stays inside the safe zone of Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Stories. Reports which interface element it overlaps (top bar, bottom caption area, right button column, edge margins, optionally the Reels comment-reply sticker) and suggests the nearest position that clears them. Coordinates are pixels from the top-left corner of the frame.

}calculate_bitrate — Calculate video bitrate and file size
Calculates the file size of a video export from its duration and bitrate, or (when target_size_mb is given) the highest video bitrate that fits that size with a 2% safety margin. Without an explicit bitrate it uses the reference value for the platform, resolution and frame rate (YouTube and Vimeo recommendations, Apple ProRes target data rates, or Rast's delivery target for Instagram and TikTok, which publish none). Also returns size-limit warnings (Meta 4 GB, TikTok ads 500 MB / 516 kbps) and a two-pass ffmpeg command.

}validate_srt — Validate SRT or WebVTT subtitles
Checks pasted SRT or WebVTT subtitle text and lists problems per subtitle: overlapping or out-of-order timings, gaps shorter than the minimum frame gap, reading speed (characters per second), line length, line count, too short or too long durations, and broken characters from a wrong encoding (mojibake such as 'é' or '’', with the probable correct text). Optionally returns a corrected SRT. The text is only processed for this response.
