No policy problems; a text-heavy Reel can get a bit less reach.

low riskNo problems found. Vertical and under 3 minutes, so it becomes a Short.

Nothing here breaks a rule. Mostly text over colour may get a little less reach on Instagram; on YouTube it will be treated as a Short.
2 things to look at
Every frame is large text over a plain colour with a simple drawing; there is no real footage of the cooking.
Why it matters: Instagram says mostly-text Reels get less reach.
Fix: Add a few seconds of real cooking footage behind the text.

The video is 1080x1920 (9:16) and 12 seconds long.
Why it matters: Vertical videos up to 3 minutes are published as Shorts, with Shorts features and limits.
Fix: Nothing to fix; just know it will appear in the Shorts feed.

- Example data made to show the layout of a report. The video was generated for this demo, and its frames, audio and file details come from the real pipeline. The transcript and findings were written by hand (the video only has a music bed, no voice), and the times, token counts and costs are illustrative.
Running the check again with other tools is turned off in this demo.
