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.

How to activate all inactive objects for current user

Hi
How to activate all inactive objects for current user ...
... I have found a (long winded) way to do this:
- Environment / Inactive Objects
- Add to Worklist
- Display Worklist
- Select All
- Activate
this will open a dialog titled "Inactive Objects for <username>"
which has the exact functionality I need ... but I can't figure out how to get to this dialog directly - without so many intermediate steps
the SAP docs repeatedly mention the ability to activate the inactive worklist - but do not mention how
does anybody know the TCode for this dialog?
thanks
ps does the term "mass activation" apply to importing change requests rather than development activation?
Edited by: FireBean500 on Jun 4, 2010 11:07 PM

No other way. But usually it's far more simple as all objects are already in our own worklist.
I wonder why your objects are not already in your worklist, as everytime you create or maintain an object, it is added to your worklist.

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!

4.3 title safe in 16.9 frame

Hi everyone. I have just started producing TV commercials in FCP Studio and using the latest JVC HD camera. I am shooting and editing 16.9 but got caught today with the title just out of the 4.3 zone. As 80% of viewers in Australia dont have 16.9 sets this is important. How can i create a 4.3 title safe zone to put on top of my 16.9 canvas window as a guide.

How to activate video calling from account page?

On a new computer Windows 8.1 can sign into my Skype for Desktop Account using skype name and password. Also have same email address as before. Account page comes up but dont know how to activate Skype so I can video call. Tried to instal Skype & got as far as Save Skype to File box, clicked on this, then was expecting to see Run Installer but nothing happened. Was previously using Windows XP. Have the original Skype download filed. Plus several more where I have been attempting to resolve this problem. Am all ´skyped up´ but cannot use it !!
Absolutely desperate have been trying to remedy this for ages. can anyone help please. Thanks Deborah
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, if it hasn't successfully installed yet, then you won't be able to uninstall it. So with that in mind, if you are able to uninstall it then that would explain why you can't install it again. The program won't let you install it if it's already been installed. So if you'd like to try again you can uninstall it and reinstall from one of the files you downloaded.
So, the first step would be to see if it is currently installed. To do this, right click the Start button in the bottom right corner while in Windows desktop. You will see a context menu pop up. From there, choose Control Panel, and within Control Panel choose Uninstall a program. You will see a list of currently installed programs.
If you see Skype in the list, uninstall it. If you don't, then don't worry about it - it's not installed. Now try to install it again.
With regard to User Account Control, don't worry about that at all. It is safe to click Yes, and once you do that should initiate the installation process. User Account Control (UAC) is a warning that something want approval from a computer administrator, which gives it access to parts of the computer it would not have otherwise. You probably don't want to give administrator access to programs you do not trust, but Skype is made by Microsoft so there is nothing to worry about.
Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any more questions. Good luck!
P.S. You said the Skype installation file came from your XP computer - that may be a problem in itself. When you download Skype from the website there is a pretty good chance that it checks the version of your operating system before downloading, meaning that if you downloaded it on a Windows XP computer you may have downloaded a Windows XP version that will not work on Windows 8.1. So, if you are using a file you downloaded from that computer, just download it again from the new one. You can use the link I put in the first post.

4:3 title safe on 1920x1080

Hi all
How do I call up a 4x3 grid so I can do titles within 4x3 title safe, on a 1920x1080 timeline ?
thank in advance
Stop corruption in Africa

Cheers James.
rottendotapple, if you are using FCP 7x then you will see tick marks in the 16:9 guides ... those tick marks are there to indicate the 4:3 title and action safe marks, so if you just need a simple indicator then that'll probably suffice. If you need something more then you can try my Safe Guides generator, or have a look about for some others, like DH_WideSafe from Digital Heaven or maybe just create an overlay guide in Photoshop (or download something to the same effect). Lots out there.
Best

TV safe, Title Safe, Broadcast Safe / all other safety measures...

I edit a simple slideshow, two songs and pictures in a DV NTSC 32 Anamorphic Sequence... I burn it to a DVD and looks great on a projector hooked up to a computer, and of course looks great ON a computer... other than slight interlace "waving."
I have the Title Safe checked in the Canvas options, and my type barely overhangs the inner line. On the TV, it cuts off a whole letter on both sides! Am a using the junkiest DVD player and TV combo ever? or am I just not understanding this TV Safe lines.
Clarification... I want a NTSC to monitor playback, but that just isn't an option right now. I KNOW how much I would love it, it's just that I don't have one sitting here right now hooked up. very sad.
What do I need to know about getting a movie off my FCE platform onto a DVD player and TV...
thanks for the replies. great help.

Your issue is most likely related to overscan being out of spec. The overscan is TV related and specified. It should be only relevant for CRT or projection TV's. The borders drawn on the canvas only relate to the TV standards and specifications. There should be no overscan issues with LCD and plasma TVs. The TV is probably out of alignment or maybe an old/poorly designed CRT set with high voltage power supply out of control. Projection TV's usually have adjustments that can bring them into spec either mechanically or electrically. If the TV has a poor power supply, the overscan will vary with line voltage. Your DVD is most likely o.k. Overscan was actually desirable on TV's, because people do not like black borders around the picture. As they add text (titles, subtitles, etc.) the overscan needs to be controlled. It gets even worse if text is added from computers. More modern sets from reputable manufacturers are pretty strictly controlled to have overscan, but not too much of it.

Title Safe Frame problem

I am encountering a problem with the text location in the Viewer and the Canvas when using the Title Safe frame. When the Viewer shows the text in the Title Safe frame, the Canvas shows a few letters are outside the frame. I have decided to use what I see in the Canvas since that reflects what is in the Timeline. Is this what I should use? Why do they show the text in different positions?

Hi Ian: Here is my progress report.
This will bring you up to date on my burning problem. It is a little long but explains how this is a continuing problem that does not seem to have a solution.
Tom wrote to me in reply to my burning problem about size - mainly the size of free space required. I commented about marking i and o for a very short 7 minute sequence, exporting to QT and trying to burn a DVD. Even then I had a 34506 error (which I think is a size issue) and the ususal multiplexing comment. Tom said: “I don’t think iDVD’s that smart. It may hold space for a full disc regardless of your content, which is probably why the write out is so long”. He is certainly right.
I went back to my desktop, selected the QT MOVIE icon and found the size was 9.35 GBs. I then learned that for this movie I had put i and o marks for a 44 minute movie, BUT did not notice that “Self Contained” was checked.
Then I went back to the desktop and found the PROJECT icon that I had saved and this one showed 6 MB. I opened this PROJECT and deleted everything past the 44 minutes, which resulted in a project or sequence size of 3.8 MB. I then exported this to QT MOVIE. It then showed the size to be 5.8 GB – too large to burn on a DVD, if all of it is burned when you click on burn. I have used the i and o approach on some of my other sequences and they burned only the selected portion. Doesn’t iDVD encode the movie and compress and expand it? Tom was right. Putting i and o markers did not reduce the size of the QT movie. Amazing. The guidelines I have read say to select the part of your project you want to export by placing i and o in the project, then export to QT. The entire movie seems to be exported anyway, even though it may burn only part of it. Does this make any sense?
Continuing, I then reduced the size of the PROJECT to 30 minutes. That resulted in a QT movie of 3.8 GB. I still could not burn a DVD.
The part I do not understand is how I was able to burn the first four DVDs. The first one is 1 hr. 13 min. with 468 still photos and 160 movie clips. The second one is 1 hr. 8 min. with 191 still photos and 240 movie clips. The third one is 56 minutes with 116 still photos and 209 movie clips. The fourth one is 53 minutes etc. I had very few problems burning these four DVDs. I cannot burn DVD #5, which is only 44 minutes. Can anyone explain why? Something must be set incorrectly, but I can’t figure out what it is.
As for trying to burn using Disk Utility, I have not been successful. I get to a certain point and get “not enough space”. Could QT be causing the problem? I followed you guidelines, but am not familiar with one part: :"You can then burn it to CD/DVD in Disk Utility just as you would any other disk". Ian, I know little about using Disk Utility. Could you give me more guidelines here?
I now have 40 GB free on my HD, have trashed preferences, rendered both video and audio, mixdown, exported to QT and again tried to burn the 44 minute project, and again the same messsage, that is, 3506 error and multiplexing error.
If you can’t burn an FCE HD project what good is it - even if the main problem is not with FCE HD?
I am also posting this to Tom since he replied to my “Burn Problem” post. Does anyone have a solution? Could iDVD be corrupted? Sorry this is so long. John

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.

TITLE SAFE STOP WORKING?

Hi
My title safe will not work anymore for some reason, on any project. I have been using FCP for apprx. 1 year, and haven't seen this happen before. I can't get the phrase "Title Safe" to display in black....it's all grayed out...as if it's not supposed to be working .... any ideas?
thanks!

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Is there a way to display 4x3 title safe on a 16x9 project?

I can display 16x9 title safe overlays in FCP X, but I can't find the really handy 4x3 title safe overlays that exist in FCP 7. A lot of broadcasters are still center-cutting HD video, so everything we produce has to be center-cut friendly. Any idea how to make this work without just making my own tiff file to put over the video?

http://www.fcp.co/forum/6-motion-5/596-a-little-help#602
Put it in your "Movies/Motion Templates/Titles" folder. You can find it in FCPX under titles.
I put the request in for you, and it was done in half-an-hour. Hopefully this board begins to thrive, because it's full of great people.
Hope to see you there.

Read note 1152612 - Incorrect component type in structure WRMA_S_RESULT_DATA.
The error occurs in Release BI_CONT 703 Support Package 9.
If you require an advance correction for Support Package 9, make the following manual changes if the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG is inactive in your system.
1. Use transaction RSA1 to call the Data Warehousing Workbench.
2. Check whether the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG was already activated by the compilation process the first time you called transaction RSA1. You can use transaction RSD1 to check this by entering 0TCTLSTCHG in the "InfoObject" field and choosing "Display". Proceed as follows if the InfoObject is still not active:
3. Go to BI Content activation.
4. Select "Object Types".
5. Open the "InfoObjects" tree and select "Objects".
6. Search for the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG and select it.
7. Transfer the object and activate it.
These steps activate the required component type /BI0/OITCTLSTCHG. You can check again in transaction RSD1 to ensure that the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG is available as active.
