Using Safe Area Overlays
If you’re working on a broadcast program and you want to adhere to guidelines for title safe and broadcast safe, you can choose to display overlays that indicate where these regions are in the Edit page.
To do so, choose View > Safe Area > On.
The available safe area overlays
If necessary, there are a number of ways you can customize this overlay by choosing one of the other options in the View > Safe Area submenu to toggle specific parts of the safe area overlay on and off. These options include:
— Extents: An outline showing the exact outer edge of the frame. Especially useful when the safe markers are set to an aspect ratio other than that currently used by the Viewer.
— Action: An outline showing the outer 90% action safe area of the frame.
— Title: An outline showing the outer 80% title safe area of the frame.
— Center: A crosshairs showing the center of the frame.
— Aspect: Enables use of the View > Select Aspect Ratio submenu to change the aspect ratio of the safe area markers. You can choose among the following aspect ratios: 1.33 (a.k.a. 4:3), 1.66, 1.77 (a.k.a. 16:9), 1.85, and 2.35.
