Redesign lower-third information that competes with the like/comment/share/remix region.

Problem

Redesign lower-third information that competes with the like/comment/share/remix region.

Solution

Root Cause / Diagnostic:
The lower-right quadrant in YouTube Shorts is densely populated by interactive buttons (Like, Dislike, Comments, Share, Audio Remix). Any graphics, subtitles, or details placed there get cut off or become unreadable behind UI icons.

Actionable Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Re-center Lower-Third Elements: Shift captions and technical labels toward the horizontal center or left-center third of the screen.
2. Raise Secondary Badges: Elevate auxiliary graphics, source citations, and creator tags above the bottom 400-pixel zone.
3. Test Against Live UI Masks: Preview exported cuts inside mobile simulation templates to guarantee zero overlap with interactive buttons.

Pro Creator Tip:
The bottom-right corner belongs to YouTube, not to you. Keep your critical visual data biased center-left to guarantee total visibility on all devices.
