Problem
Design the final frame so the loop restart remains readable even with persistent feed UI visible.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
When a Short restarts at the beginning of its loop, native UI overlays remain persistently rendered over the screen. If the seamless transition relies on subtle lower or side edge details that are occluded by these persistent controls, the narrative bridge collapses and the looping effect fails to register.
Actionable Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Position Loop Connection Points Centrally: Place the visual bridge object, text punchline, or matching silhouette strictly in the unobstructed center frame between 40% and 60% vertical height.
2. Synchronize Audio Seams Over Visual Dependency: Use dialogue or sound matching as the primary looping trigger, allowing the audio to carry the transition even if UI overlays distract the eye.
3. Test Loop Legibility Under Live Preview: Export test loops and view them inside the mobile Shorts upload preview to verify the seam registers cleanly behind live interface buttons.
Pro Creator Tip:
A flawless loop relies on central eye-trace; anchor your restart point right in the dead center so the seamless return hits the viewer before they glance at the controls.
