HI
Is it possibel to view the safe area in photoshop, like u can in encore and after effects?? So u know what space u have to work with in regards to titling, etc. I am at a lost when i design my dvd menus and them have overflow on the safe areas.

Hi,

Generally, safe title area is the center 80% of the entire video image area or that area which will display legible titles regardless of how a TV monitor is adjusted.

You can easily create a mask corresponding to this in Photoshop on a layer of its own.

or

You can probably pick up a ref. image at the following site if you want that expense.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
