If you are displaying both safe area and title together, it may be desirable to make the
safe title lines dashed, using the check box, so that you may distinguish the two.
It is possible to have the size and position of the safe area box shown on the main
outputs, again by checking the relevant box.
The masks key out the video in the selected area, replacing it with black. Masks may be
enabled either inside or outside of the safe area or safe title boxes. The video that is
masked out is also removed from the error-checking module, so the masks can be used
to reduce the area where errors are flagged. Alternatively, by pressing the 'Video' button,
the keyed out area is replaced with the currently selected image or sequence in the
Generator window (if OmniGen or Motion/Capture options are present).
The safe title box may be positioned by adjusting the X and Y values. However, it may be
more easily positioned by clicking the Edit button. You can then click and drag over a
representation of the current image. The box position can be fine tuned using the X & Y
boxes afterwards. The settings can be saved. Click the Save icon to the right of the
'Profile' box. If there is a name shown in the profile box, then your settings will be saved
to this 'file'. If it is blank, a dialogue box appears to let you enter a new name. Once you
have several names in use, they can be selected by using the drop down arrow to the
right of the profile box. Hence if you have several settings that you regularly use, these
can be stored and recalled, without having to re-enter them. Note that these settings are
saved into the registry, not as actual files on disk.
Whilst you are using the 'Edit' feature, the main mini-pic will be turned off. This is
because the Edit dialogue is using the same mini-pic element to create the image.
The safe title box may be positioned by adjusting the X and Y values. However, it may be
more easily positioned by clicking the Edit button. You can then click and drag over a
representation of the current image. The box position can be fine tuned using the X & Y
boxes afterwards.
