Three checks before a reel ships.
Reading time: every line holds long enough to be read, checked frame by frame.
Safe zones: every vertical text clear of the Reels interface.
Loudness: measured on the master: ≈ −15.2 LUFS, true peak −1.8 dBTP.
Clients never see these checks. They feel them.

"Clients never see these checks. They feel them" is a great line. I mostly do static ads, but I run the same safe zone check for Stories. One idea for a fourth check: a sound-off test. If the message still lands with the volume off, the ad survives the subway. Is -15 LUFS your target for Reels

Appreciate that, Ivan! And spot on with the sound-off test it's a lifesaver for mobile feeds. As for the loudness, I usually aim around -14 to -15 LUFS depending on the platform's final compression, keeping true peak safely under control. Do you usually target a specific loudness standard for your client's video assets?
