# Platform delivery templates

## Purpose

This note tracks the default aspect ratios and framing rules for the monthly
Totally Spies marketing system.

It is a delivery-planning reference, not a training source.

## Default output families

| Platform family | Aspect ratio | Primary use | Framing note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anchor spot | `16:9` | main trailer, broadcaster, YouTube | Protect title-safe center and allow clean end cards |
| Vertical cutdown | `9:16` | reels, stories, Shorts | Keep hero faces and gadgets vertically centered |
| Square cutdown | `1:1` | feed posts and paid social | Avoid edge-dependent action and wide trio spreads |
| Wide social variant | `4:5` | paid social and mobile feed | Favor medium shots over full-width staging |

## Working rules

- Build the first composition in `16:9` unless the brief is vertical-first.
- Keep trio setups crop-safe so the same approved family can spin into `9:16`
  and `1:1` without breaking identity readability.
- Treat gadget reveals and dialogue closeups as the safest crop-resistant shot
  families.
- Flag any shot family that only works in one ratio before validation sign-off.
