About the safe margins

The title‑safe and action‑safe margins in the drawing area of the Titler designate the safe zones. These margins are enabled by default.

Safe zones are useful when you edit for broadcast and videotape. Most consumer TVs use a process called overscan, which cuts off a portion of the outer edges of the picture, allowing the center of the picture to be enlarged. The amount of overscan is not consistent across TVs. To ensure that everything fits within the area that most TVs display, keep text within the title‑safe margins, and all other important elements within the action‑safe margins.

Note: If you are creating content for the web or for CD, the title‑safe and action‑safe margins do not apply to your project because the entire image is displayed in these media.
