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.

  • Norton Safe Search and Identity Safe taskbar don't work with FF 4.0

    When I upgrade to Firefox 4.0 my Norton Safe Search and Identity Safe task Bar disappear after installation. There is a pop-up that say a supported version of the add-ons for the following. My current add-ons are "Norton IPS 2.0" and "Norton Toolbar 4.6". As a result they disappear and I can no longer use them. These came with my Norton 360 and I prefer to use my this password manager instead.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    If you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Is business area and industry sector are same.

    Hi All,
       is company code  is related to industry sector in any way??? 
    is industry sector related thro business area then, or  is business area and industry sector are one and the same.
    Thanks
    Sathsih

    Dear Satish,
    Business Area - Organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a specific business segment or area of responsibility in a company. Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are assigned to business areas.
    Financial statements can be created for business areas for internal purposes.
    The definition of the business area organizational unit is optional.
    Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over and above company codes), based on the significant areas of operation of a company (for example, product lines, branches).
    To define business areas, choose the following in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure: Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Business Area.
    If you have defined business areas, the transaction figures for the G/L accounts are managed separately for internal evaluation purposes. You can therefore create internal financial statements for business areas.
    If you want to create financial statements for business areas, you must make sure that the Business area field is ready for input in all the line items. To do this, proceed as follows in Customizing for Financial Accounting: Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Business Area -> Enable Business Area Balance Sheet.
    To post items in a business area, enter the business area when you enter the business transaction. However, the business area can also be derived from other account assignments, such as the cost center. To enable the system to do this, you must define the business area in the cost center master record.
    If you enter a cross-company code document, you can post to different business areas across all company codes in one document. As a result, any number of combinations of company code and business area are possible.
    Industry Sector - When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to industry sector and material type.
    The standard system contains the following industry sectors. The ID used to identify the industry sector internally appears in parentheses.
    ·        Plant engineering and construction (A)
    ·        Chemical industry (C)
    ·        Mechanical engineering (M)
    ·        Pharmaceuticals (P)
    The other sectors are for retail.

    regards

    Hi Bojja,
    Controlling Area:
    Controlling provides you with information for management decision-making. It facilitates coordination, monitoring and optimization of all processes in an organization. This involves recording both the consumption of production factors and the services provided by an organization.
    As well as documenting actual events, the main task of controlling is planning. You can determine variances by comparing actual data with plan data. These variance calculations enable you to control business flows.
    Income statements such as, contribution margin accounting, are used to control the cost efficiency of individual areas of an organization, as well as the entire organization.
    CCA(Credit Control Area)
    An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored.
    This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control information for each customer.
    Thanks,

  • Basic Title safe and action safe zones questions

    1.) Why is it that a title needs to be within the inner square, otherwise it may not display on a TV, though action can still take place in the outer square outside the title safe zone and it is still fine?
    2.) Do these zones apply to CRT televisions, LCD, Plasmas, and video intended for being displayed through a projector the same way?
    Thanks.

    1. Safe area and safe title were developed many years ago, back when folks had TV sets with rounded corners. There was a real risk that a title would not be displayed in full if it went outside the boundary.
    Pictures are interpretated differently to text. If say, someones left shoulder and arm are out of picture, it is obvious what is missing. An incomplete title can easily be misunderstood or not understood at all.
    2. Unless you have absolute control over the device which will be displaying your movie, apply the rules to everything.

  • 'Title Safe' and 'Action Safe' boundaries

    I assume that the 'Title Safe' area is the boundaries where the Title should not exceed, and that the Action Safe' area is a boundary that the action should not exceed. However, does this mean that nothing will show beyond those boundaries, or that you might run the risk of cutoff if they are exceeded?
    Thanks!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    All material that is outside the action safe zone cannot be viewed on a TV set, but will be seen on a computer screen.
    +Broadcast monitors+ are designed to display this area too.
    Try your camcorder by frame the action very close the edges and look the clip in viewer. You should see the extra area. Some pro camcorders do offer an showing overscan feature to monitor this area upon shooting.

  • How do I open compressed old files to view them before I delete,I have alot of space taken up with these files but I dont know what they are and if they are important.

    I have just started using the computer and have no idea what old compressed files are or if they are important,so I have not deleted any ,and now they are taking up alot of space.

    You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
    Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
    Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

  • FG in MRP AREA and ROH comoonents are in different MRP AREA

    Dear consultantas,
    please i need to check this scenario with you if applicable or not:
    i have ine plant 0001 and i created 2 MRP Areas 0001 (plant MRP Area) and 0002 (storage location MRP Area)
    my finished product is planned in MRP Area 0001 and its components (in BOM) are planned in 0001 MRP Area.
    do you think this scenario is applicable.

    Hi
    You can map this business process very well in the standard SAP .Only thing is you have to make sure that both the MRP area are activated for MRP  and Planning file entry to be done foe those FG and componenet which are in different MRP area .You can include them in SCOPE of Planning in the configuration and run MRP in MD01.Or u can run MRP in two different MRP area as per your requirement .
    Hope this will help you .

  • Treasury Money Markets- Operative Valuation Area and Parallel Valuation Are

    Hello Folks
    I have a problem I am trying to fix in Treasury Money Markets. The guys that created the fixed term deposits in Money markets did not create them in the Operative Valuation area. They created them in the Parallel Valuation area and went ahead to initialize it, they deleted the operative valuation area. Now the problem came in when new transactions were created. In the process of creation they asked for the operative Valuation area i.e. the new transactions being created. This was then created, but now the problem comes in settling and posting of the old transactions that have matured. These do not exist in the Operative Valuation area.
    I can’t post anything using TBB1 for the old transactions that were created without the operative valuation area, the system dumps and from the analysis I can see that it’s the lack of the operative valuation area. For the new transactions being created, a payment request cannot be generated for transactions requiring one.
    How can I make sure that the Transactions in the Parallel valuation area also exist in the operative valuation area? Has anyone ever had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can go about solving this problem?
    Regards
    Valentine

    Hi,
    I assume the valuation area you are asking about is in transaction manager component only.  Technically all valuation areas are same in the sense that they have the same functionality.  But from a functional stand point, every valuation area is determined based on either different accounting principles or different valuation needs.  For e.g. one valuation area can be for your local GAAP while one can be for IFRS.  It all depends on the business requirements whether you need multiple valuation areas at all or you can use one itself.
    By default 1 valuation area is required and hence 001 will be active and this will be your operative valuation area.  Any other valuation are you define will be parallel valuation area.  Now if you dont want other valuation areas, then you need not create them.  In your system, if you have been using 004 as for lets say IFRS and after upgrading you can configure 001 according to IFRS itself if you dont want VA according to any other GAAP.

  • Title and Action Safe guides

    Hi,
    I am finally at the stage where we are going to start shooting some footage and testing our compositions on our project. My next big step, is to get my head around Action/Title safe areas. We are shooting for 16:9 widescreen, HD TV, but am i supposed to take the smaller standard TV screens into account? Keeping in mind that I am very new at this, I am getting confused between the zones and guides on AE. I see the centre-cut guides (for the smaller TV screens I guess) and then the normal guides for widescreen. If I compose all my shots for the standard TV screen, that means I will need to make up a lot of wasted space around them for the widescreen TV.
    Once again, I know this is an AE forum, but I am using the excuse that AE has the guides, and thats what I am trying to understand! :-)
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, or even some links to external forums or sites?
    Thanks guys.
    Pierre

    Thank you for the reply.
    Ill aim for the widescreen safety as you suggest. I have taken several shots of the characters now, using different lighting styles etc. Next week will be dedicated to Keylight. I am quite familiar with it, but want to get really really deeply involved. I am going to spend some time with multi passes and different tests.
    Soon, (hopefully) I will be able to tell you all where to check out our work! :-)
    Thanks again for the feedback.

  • 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.

  • Action Safe Area

    Hello,
    I'm a "newbie" who is very eager to learn everthing I can about post-production using Final Cut Studio . . . I was going to reply to an archived post but not sure if anyone would stil be viewing that topic. Sorry if this is a well weathered question!
    I've inversted in Apple Pro Training Text Books; Final Cut Pro 5; Soundtrack; Soundtrack Pro; Motion and DVD Studio Pro 4.
    I'd like to learn as much as possible for myself, however any help from anybody would be appreciated.
    Creating my project in FCP > Exporting to Quicktime > then Authoring in DVDSP.
    Viewing in the simulator is exactly what I'm after!!
    When I burn the project and play though the set top DVD player the images are cropped. I researched the issue on this forum and found posts explaining that the signal received by the TV was not the entire signal and that it was the TV that was the issue (I could be wrong, but that's the way it read to me) . . . I tested this theory by conecting my Powerbook to a projector via S-Video and selected - Digital Cinema Desktop Preview in the Simulator Preferences in DVDSP. Then I conected both the Yamaha DVD player (1 Year old) and the Pioneer DVD player (5 years old) and toggled between them to find out if my project would be successfully transmitted from both the laptop and a burnt DVD.
    The result has lead me to believe the signal was not sent properly from the DVD players as both DVD players produced cropped results even though I was using a projector. The signal sent from the laptop was %100 and what I'd like to achieve from my DVD players. Weather in be a CRT, Plasma or Projector.
    Are there any ways to compensate for the cropping eg: measurements or methods?
    Hope this all makes sense.
    Thanking you - JayMac

    Welcome to the forums, JayMac.
    The title of your message, "Action Safe Area," leads me to believe you've read about your action-safe and title-safe borders, and that you realize that all TVs "overscan" images. It might not be ideal, but they all do it, and you need to adjust for it. That's why Final Cut, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro all include the option of displaying "action safe" and "title safe" borders. Going past those borders will risk images getting cut off on a TV set due to overscan.
    Your test with the video output from a PowerBook was not a valid test, unfortunately. If I hook my PowerBook to a TV set, I absolutely need the entire screen to display on the set, particularly the top of the screen--otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the menu bar to make selections. Therefore, computers with TV-out are designed to compensate for overscan, so that the entire desktop is visible.
    The bottom line is that every TV overscans, and every TV overscans by a different amount. By using your active-safe and title-safe borders, you'll be assured that those parts of your video or menu will be visible. This is the best way of handling things, rather than trying to "fight the power" and somehow compensate for overscan.
