Problem
Ensure the core visual still makes sense when viewers open comments and the available viewing area changes.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
When a viewer taps the comment section on mobile, an interactive bottom sheet slides up, obscuring between 50% and 65% of the vertical display while video playback shrinks or continues in the top window. If the video's essential action or payoff is framed in the lower half, comment readers lose all visual context.
Actionable Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Frame Core Visuals in the Top 40% Safe Zone: Position the primary narrative subject, facial expressions, and dynamic action in the upper 400 to 700 pixels of the 1080x1920 frame.
2. Maintain Audio-Visual Dual Redundancy: Ensure that spoken dialogue clearly explains visual developments so comment browsers can follow along even when their eyes are reading replies.
3. Design Compact Visual Callouts: Use tight, high-contrast upper-third graphics when displaying key metrics or evidence so they remain visible above the comment sheet boundary.
Pro Creator Tip:
A viewer opening comments is hyper-engaged. Don't punish their engagement by hiding your climax behind the comment drawer—keep the main event in the top half of the screen.
