How to hide title safe area?

hi - quick q - i created a project in cs5 using the new video settings - how do i hide the title/action safe guides?

Hi
The toolbar should say 'artboard' - after the input box labelled: Name, there are some small icons, the second along says "Display options" if you hover over it. Hidden under that icon are various options to show and hide the different aspects of the video grid if I'm correct in understanding what you're asking for.

What is outside the Title Safe Area?

I am a bit confused b y the explanation (in the manual) of the Title Safe Area and Action Safe Area (p.215). The manual states that these settings indicate, "... portions of the menu that may not be viewable on most consumer monitors." Is there any way to determine that on the computer screen, or is it pot luck depending on the individual TV? Does it also depend on whether the TV is a rear projection, plasma, or LCD?
Since I am using one of my images as the background for the menu, I'd like to know how much of the image might be cropped.

My experience is confined to PAL. Image sizes for NTSC are different. As I understand it, Title Safe and Action Safe areas do not exist in, and are irrelevant to, the widescreen (16:9) format when displayed on a 16:9 TV. This is because every pixel of a widescreen video is always shown on a widescreen TV (assuming that the DVD player has been set to 16:9, see below). Title/Action Safe areas are only necessary for displaying widescreen video on 4:3 format TVs. This is because the Powers That Be decided that widescreem video should be shown slightly enlarged on a 4:3 TV. This gives a larger and therefore clearer image compared to full Letterboxing where the full width of the widescreen image is shown but with inevitably wider black bars at top and bottom. However, this enlargement causes parts of the widescreen image at left and right to be cropped on most TVs, which is usually no great loss.
On the display settings, for movies in widescreen (16:9), I set the display options in the following places:
1. DVD SP > Preferences > Encoding Set "Aspect Ratio" to 16:9
2. DVD SP > Preferences > Simulator Set "Aspect" to 16:9
3. In the Menu Inspector for each menu, Menu Tab, set "Aspect Ratio" to 16:9, and do this before setting the Menu Background image and its Overlay file (otherwise the Overlay file will not register accurately with the Menu Background image, at least that is the case with my outfit - DVD SP 3.0
4. Set each Video Track to 16:9 To do that, activate the Graphical Tab in the window at top left of the screen, select the track, and in the now-visible Track Inspector (General Tab) I set "Mode" to "16:9 (Letterbox)" because my TV is 4:3. (It is tempting to assume that if the TV is widescreen, you would set it to "16:9", but with my setting of "16:9 (Letterbox)" the DVD also displayed correctly on two widescreen TVs available to me (ie., it filled the whole screen). I don't know what display setting the owners had on their DVD players.
5. Finally, the DVD player needs to be set to 16:9 (if the TV is physically 16:9), or to 4:3L if the TV is 4:3 (at least, that works for me).
So there is quite a lot of setting to do to get the correct display. I am surprised that Apple did not offer a single setting in Preferences to cover all this. Perhaps DVD SP 4 or 5 does.

Action/Title Safe Areas

I am having problems setting up guides for safe areas and I wondered if
anyone else had some advice or tips.
In the Preferences under Grids & Guides the Action Safe and Title Safe are
preset to 10% and 20% respectively. But this relates to the size of the
comp, I am working in HD so my comp is 1920 x 1080 and the Title/Action safe
guides are set proportional to that. However in reality I have to set my
Title Safe area to be Title Safe for 4:3 within a 16:9 HD comp for
international sales to countries still using 4:3 TV.
If I change the value for the Title Safe area in the Preferences to say 30%
to show a guide closer to the 4:3 safe area I need to adhere to it changes
BOTH the width and the height so the width might be accurate but the height
is way out. On top of that I also have to work with 14:9 Title Safe areas
for some projects too so I'd like to see those.
I can drag guidelines to sit over the correct areas but this a pain as the
guides are just for each individual comp not all the nested comps I work
with when making the animation so I have to make them anew for every comp
and project to make sure text is safe, I can't just click on the Action/Safe
when I want to see it.
I downloaded a Photoshop comp from the BBC in the UK and have been importing
that as an overlay to check my Title safe but I really wanted to know if I
am missing something. Avid Media Composer for example shows guides for
widescreen comps 14:9 Action Safe, 14:9 Title Safe, 4:3 Action Safe and 4:3
Title Safe, is there nothing I can do in After Effects to have the guides
permanently set to multiple safe areas or even just the correct height and
width for 4:3 safe within a 16:9 comp?
Thanks in advance.
BBC links if anyone is interested:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/tvbranding/picturesize.shtml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/tvbranding/artwork1.shtml

Many thanks for those links silversurfer. When I compare them to the ones I
got from the BBC they don't match up though; your Action Safe is their 3:4
picture area and your Title Safe is wider than their Action Safe. This is
the other issue I have run into, that different broadcasters have different
specifications.
The guides the BBC give as safe margins for 4:3 Title Safe within a 16:9
widescreen frame are 10% top and bottom and 20.5% left and right. Doing the
math for an HD 16:9 frame makes a box 1132 pixels wide by 864 high with the
margins set at 394px left, 1526px right, 108px bottom and 972px top. (Their
4:3 Action Safe is 5% top and bottom and 17% left and right.)
It would be great in CS4 to be able to set templates that can quickly be
called up across comps and projects, the single percentage option they have
right now for both width and height is pretty useless. I have been importing
a Photoshop template but it's an inelegant kludge.
I was hoping I was being dumb and had missed a vital feature, but it seems
not! :-(

Title Safe Area and Action Safe Area

I understand the recomandations about the Title Safe Area and Action Safe Area (PDF p215).
I am wondering if this is still acurate today, considering many people in the U.S have widescreen TVs. I`m just wondering if anybody still have a TV that only shows the Title safe area?
Also, on a Widescreen TV, is there any chance to have only the Action safe area?
Thanks.

I very much doubt anyone has a TV that only displays title safe area and nothing outside of it... the Title Safe area is a percentage reduction from the outer edge of the image. If a TV is showing in the 4:3 aspect ratio, any image will be sized appropriately to fit, and the title safe will be proportional... 10% in from the outer edge.
The title safe area originally existed to allow for text to be showing without too much distortion on a curved TV screen. The Action safe area simply extended beyond this to the edge of the screen, and is 5% in from the edge of the footage.
In the days of CRT sets, the glass screen has a plastic bezel which masks the very edge of the screen, meaning the image disappears neatly behind it. Action safe areas are just those that will appear beyond the bezel and be visible, but which might distort sightly due to the curvature of the glass.
On a computer screen the entire image is seen regardless, as the geometry of the screen is adjusted to appear within the entire display, and so AS and TS areas don't really apply.
Whether or not your screen is widescreen doesn't matter, it's all about pixel aspect ratios. The image is displayed proportionately, and the visible areas are the same from screen to screen. When setting up photoshop images with guides to show AS and TS, you'll find that the TV image is 720px wide, and the guides are set at 36px from the left and right for the AS, and 72px in for the TS. The vertical size differs between NTSC and PAL, and thus the guides are positioned differently, but still 5 and 10% respectively.

TV eats even the Title Safe area

Hi all,
I've put together a DVD with testvid's to see which compression is best.
My testDVD has some buttons to watch those video's. All the buttons are way inside the Title Safe area. The settings are PAL 16:9. I watched it on a PAL-TV 16:9 but it eats even my buttons. It'd kinda like its stretching it way beyond 16:9. Anybody has a clue what to do here? I prefer solving the problem instead of hoping the client's dvdplayer plays it right.
I checked every setting in the TV, the dvd player doesnt have Video-settings. When I put the TV into 4:3 it is also cropping the video.
On my computer everything is normal, I'll do some more tests at home this weekend.. It's a pain in the butt when you do everything by the book and dont get the result you're looking for.
Thanks for reading this. I hope someone can help me out here.

Yes, four were rendered using a 768x576 Pal preset.
After that I compressed them into MPEG-2 PAL 4:3 for DVD, I overlooked this setting, thats why its 4:3.
The other three were rendered 1920x1080 Self containing movie.
After that I compressed them into MPEG-2 PAL 16:9 for DVD.
Settings in DVD Studio Pro are 16:9.
The big question is why the different ratios show 16:9 on my TV but not in VLC.

How to hide title of the list on Content Query Web Part?

I am trying to display the description on content query web part from a list. Even when I leave the Title field blank on "Presentation" section (editing the web part), the title shows up with the link along with the description. Is there any way
to hide the title or leave it as blank? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Evilar

Hi Evilar,
Thanks for posting your issue, Kindly use the below mentioned CSS Style in ID of table tag to fix this issue
#hide-title .ms-viewheadertr {
display: none;
}OR
For Content Query Web part (WebPartWPQX) Note; X is a number of your web part.#WebPartWPQX .ms-viewheadertr
display: none;
}So only titles of the webpart within the WebPartWPQX will be hided.
Also, browse below mentioned URL for more details

Title Safe Area

Im having some issue with my captions running off the bottom of the screen on 4:3 television screens.
I have the captions inside the "outer box" of the caption safe area but since Im having the issue Im wondering, do I need to make sure they are within the inner box completely? Hopefully someone knows and can save me the effort of re-exporting, importing, burning and testing.
TIA,
A

I keep mine to two lines. As the dialog progresses, the ST changes to reflect that. Just one workflow.
Good luck,

To the extent that you are designing in Final Cut, Motion or even DVD SP itself (depedning on the workflow) they also have title/action safe overlays to view.

How to hide columns that are getting added dynamically to UI Element 'Table

In SRM 7.0 while displaying a RFx, click on "responses and awards" button.
In the response comparision tab once the user selects response number and clicks on "compare all responses".
Item details table is displayed with fields item number,internal number,item description,........,Price etc.
Requirement is to hide the price column from the table.
The UI element type is 'Table'.
But the catch is there is no column price visible at layout design level.
This field is getting added dynamically at run time.
When i right click and see the 'more field help' at the front end i get the field id as 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
lo_table ?= view->get_element( id = 'ITEMS_TABLE' ).
lo_column = lo_table->get_column( id = 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV').
ASSERT lo_column IS NOT INITIAL.
lo_column->set_visible( EXPORTING value = '01' ).
I had written the above code in the pre-exit of WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
But i am getting dump as assertion failed.it says no column by name 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
Please help me inhow to hide fields or buttons getting generated dynmically.
Regards,
Venkat Raghavan.

Hi Anitha,
What i understood from your question is,you want to control the table from your inputs.I have a one question for you what do you want to show defaultly i.e when you run the application what you want to show,either no table or table with some values.
Any how i am giving solution in this way.
If both inputs are given proper table output is displayed
Write your below logic in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW )
Here i am assuming that you already have a table element in the view.
Get the values entered in the input fields and compare those 2 values ,if the condition is satisfied then bind the values which you want to show in the table to the context node.
but if only 1 input is given a column is empty in the output table so i want to hide this column dynamically at runtime based on my inputs
You are telling that you know the empty column.If so get the view element reference and use the REMOVE_COLUMN to remove the column.
data:lr_table type ref to cl_wd_table,
       lr_column type ref to L_WD_TABLE_COLUMN.
lr_table ?= view->get_element( 'TABLE1' ).
CALL METHOD LR_TABLE->REMOVE_COLUMN
    EXPORTING
      ID          = 'TABLE1_color'
     INDEX      =
    RECEIVING
      THE_COLUMN = lr_column.
i want to hide some empty rows also at runtime based on inputs.
Removing the rows is very simple.if you know the key fields data of internal table from your input fields then do in this way.
delete itab from wa where key1= "12" and key2="abd".
Now bind the internal table to context node.
LO_ND_hcm->BIND_TABLE(
      NEW_ITEMS            = it_final
      SET_INITIAL_ELEMENTS = ABAP_TRUE ).

In forms- how to hide elements which are added through property palete

hi,
I am using oracle forms-10g version.
I have an doubt in hiding the elements from list item.
I have 3 list items and 3 elements. If i select any element in any of the list, that element should get hidden when we click on other list box.
For example:
3 elements are cell, work,home.
in the first list item it should display all three elements and when i select cell in list_item 1, then this element should get hide for the other two list items.
Similarly if i select home in list item 2, then home and cell should get hide from list item 3 and home alone d=should get hide from list_item 1.
please suggest if my question is not clear.
Please help out folks.
Regards,
Bobb

Hello Bobb,
You can create a trigger(when-list-changed) for each list item where you could:
1.recreate the record groups and then use POPULATE_LIST so you can hide the selected values. In forms builder online help there are some good examples about create record groups dynamically.
or
2.you can perform a validation instead of hiding the selected values. If the values is already selected the display a message 'Value already selected....'
Second option is much faster(only an 'if clause')
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex

For a 4 foot by 12 foot sign, what should my title safe area be?

I am designing a sign for a local restaurant. The demensions the owner gave me are 4feet by 12 but he is concerned that things will get cut out due to the frameing for the sign. A print shop guy reccomended 2 inches but looking at it this sems to much?
Any thoughts?

Go with the printer's recommendation;
or
give us exact and complete details about the RIP and machine to be used to print, etc. as well as physical inside dimensions of the frame.

Is there a quick way to fit everything in the Title/Action Safe Areas ?

Hi,
(sorry in advance for my english, I'm a french canadian)
I built a complete DVD without realizing that I should consider the "Safe Areas" (see my first post : "Formatting in 4:3 but image is still stretched on a 4:3 TV. What the... ?"), so now I'm stuck with a 12 hours project that show only some part on TV.
Something strange too is that I first thought what was shown corresponded to the "Action Safe Area", but I just realized that both sides are cut like the "Title Safe Area" and top/bottom are cut like the "Action Safe Area". It's not one or the other, it's a mix of both. What causes that ?
What I need to know now is if there is a way to compress all the DVD or make everything to fit quickly in the viewable area so I will not have to fit everything one by one.
Thanks for your help.
P.S.
The 4:3 simulation mode should specifiate the overscanning process in the application when we use it, so it would solve a lot of problem in the first place.

16:9 Title Safe Overlays Suddenly Become 4:3 In 16:9 Sequence?

This question is on behalf of a friend.
He has shot 16:9 with his Canon XM2 and put the clips in an Anamorphic DV project.
It contains 2 sequences which both had 16:9 Title Safe overlays displaying in the Canvas.
Suddenly the overlays in one sequence have become 4:3 even though the Canvas window is still 16:9.
He thinks it happened after he selected View>Show Overlays but can't be sure.
How does he get the errant overlay to display once more as 16:9?

I received a phone call to say that the problem was solved though I couldn't really understand the reason. I was told that he had accidentally switched out of anamorphic.
However, if this were so, surely he would have had an obviously squashed 4:3 image with 4:3 Title Safe area.
Anyway, enough grey calls have been expended, so we can all forget it!

Is "Title Safe" Safe?

Having just finished a dance show DVD which my kids were in, I gave it to them to do quality control, order correction, spelling, etc. They chucked it at the DVD player and immediately pressed the blue button till the picture filled the screen, so my titles at the end were less than how I planned.
My question is "How relevant is Title Safe today"? Do editors do title safe for HD even though their work may well be shown on 4:3 or any other ratio and visa versa?

There are multiple guidelines for where titles are placed. Generally today's TVs show more picture than the sets of old.
If I understand you question correctly, your source video is 16:9 HD. You placed your titles within title safe on a 16:9 display, but your kids blow the picture up upon viewing. Esentially doing a center extraction. The 16:9 title safe guides are not designed to ensure that your titles stay within a 4:3 center extracted picture. They only ensure that on a 16:9 display, or in a letterbox, your titles will be within the active picture area of a monitor. If you need to keep titles within a 4:3 safe area on 16:9 material, then you need to place custom guides over your video when you place titles.
Title safe is extremely relevant today, but you need to know what your final delivery specs are. For those of us who deliver shows to broadcast and cable nets we are given delivery specs before we even start editing. So we know going in if the program will be shown letterboxed or center extracted when it hits the air. This determines where and how titles will be placed.
