Using Title and Action Guidelines
By default, NewsCutter displays two outlined boxes in the Title tool to
use as guidelines (see the illustration at the beginning of
“Understanding the Title Tool” on page 167). The inner box is the safe
title area. All text for television broadcast should remain within this
inner box. The outer box is the safe action area for video display. These
guidelines adjust automatically for PAL and NTSC projects.
To display the safe title area or safe action area guidelines:
t Choose Safe Title Area/Global Grid from the Object menu.
Using Safe Colors
If you plan to use your title for television broadcast, you can choose
the Safe Colors command from the Object menu. This command
displays only low saturation colors for use in text, objects, and
background. Colors with low saturation look best when combined
with video. By default, Safe Colors is on.
To display only safe colors:
t Choose Safe Colors from the Object menu.
