The rule you are dragging is 4 points wide because that is what the build says, and the ground behind it is the frame colour the app ships. Sample pair of a plated dish, supplied with the app. Your own export is composited at 1080p from two photographs of yours.

What Bold Coral is for

Warm subjects in a warm frame. Coral running into burnt orange belongs behind timber, terracotta, brick, bread, a leather sofa, anything on the red side of neutral, and it is the second frame in the category that opens on the free tier. The four point white rule cuts hard, and the square crop keeps a feed tile intact.

#FF6B6B shades into #EE5A24 behind the two halves, and that wash is part of the template rather than a filter on your photographs. Labels are set in Bebas Neue, bottom centre, over a 4 point #FFFFFF divider. It ships with Before and After already typed, on a 1:1 square canvas, square, with no radius at all.

Every value in Bold Coral, as the build holds it

Divider width is the number to read first on a bold template, because the rule is what does the shouting. The diagram draws it at the app's own canvas scale, along with the shape of the frame, the corner the labels take and any band reserved under the pair. The panel beside it carries the parts of the record that arrive as words instead of numbers.

Shooting for itBold category

How to shoot a pair for Bold Coral

Loud framing buys attention and spends credibility, so the pair underneath has to be obviously real. The safest bold post shows a change big enough to register at thumbnail size: a driveway half done, a bench cleared, a body at two dates. Subtle work loses in this category, because a five point white rule across the middle of the screen is competing with the very thing you are pointing at. Shoot wide, shoot the whole subject, and let the frame shout about a difference that was already visible.

In orderWritten for bold work
  1. 01Start from the wide shot. Bold frames crop tight and a close-up inside one loses the context that made the change readable.
  2. 02Match the second frame with Ghost Camera before you shoot it, not after. A thick divider makes a misalignment of a few degrees obvious.
  3. 03Pick the frame by the subject's colour, not by taste. A coral ground behind a red car cancels the car out.
  4. 04Slider reveal is the mode that suits this category: the rule is already the loudest object on screen, so let it move.
  5. 05Export vertical for a Reel or square for a feed post, and check it at the size a thumb actually sees it before you post.

A thick rule makes a poor pair worse, because it points straight at the seam. Run the two photographs through the slider tool in your browser first: it works on your own device, in about two seconds, and the guide to pairs that look fake explains what to do when the alignment is off.

Honest limitsTwo of them, and both are real

What Bold Coral will not do

A condensed display face at this weight has one job and it is the word BEFORE. Long custom label wording gets tight fast, and the label editor will let you set text that is technically legible and practically unreadable at feed size. The frames also draw the eye to the divider, so a pair whose two halves sit at slightly different heights shows it here first. And the input stays two still photographs: this category makes a punchy reveal out of a pair, not out of footage.

On this template in particularThe gradient is part of the template rather than a filter over your photographs, so it cannot be turned off or recoloured. If the ground is fighting your subject, the fix is a different template rather than a setting.

If this one is not itFour questions, four answers

The Pro step up

The same category with more of everything: a gradient ground and a 5 point rule.

Same pack, other end

A darker ground in the same pack, with a 4 point #FFFFFF rule.

Same shape, other register

The same 1:1 square canvas, filed under clean rather than bold.

Same label face

Also set in Bebas Neue, so a series can change frame without changing voice.

Common questions

Who is the Bold Coral template for?
Warm subjects in a warm frame. Coral running into burnt orange belongs behind timber, terracotta, brick, bread, a leather sofa, anything on the red side of neutral, and it is the second frame in the category that opens on the free tier. The four point white rule cuts hard, and the square crop keeps a feed tile intact.
When should I use something other than Bold Coral?
Red on red cancels out. A red car, a fire door, a brick wall photographed close: the subject and the border merge and the reveal loses its edge. Teal Strike is the opposite side of the wheel and separates cleanly from all of them.
Is Bold Coral free?
Yes. It is one of the 8 the free tier unlocks out of 100. Free exports are capped at three a day, each behind a short rewarded ad, and carry a watermark until you upgrade.
What shape is Bold Coral, and what will it export at?
The template's canvas is 1:1 square. The export ratio is a separate choice made in the export sheet: 9:16 and 1:1 on the free tier, plus 4:5 and the original ratio on Pro. 1:1 is among them, so the canvas and the export can match exactly.
Can I change the BEFORE and AFTER wording?
Yes. Bold Coral starts with "Before" and "After", and every part of that is editable: the text, the typeface, the colour, the size, bold and italic, uppercase, a shadow, the background opacity, and the position, either one of five presets or dragged anywhere on the canvas.
Can I compare two video clips with this?
No. The app takes two still photographs, and the reveal you are watching on this page is made by moving a divider across them. Footage never enters the picture, however cinematic the frame looks.
