Title Safe Area
by Joseph McLachlan on Aug 7, 2006 at 11:44:47 am

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask this, so here goes . . . I have a still image that has a distict border.

When I first placed the file into FCP, The border was cut due to the Aspect Ratio. I'm learning slowly that with some effort you can get around this by being careful to stay within the title safe area. After reaseaching in Photoshop help, I should create a New file with the correct Aspect Ratio selected (in my case PAL).

My first attempt to get around this problem was to create a black border around my image by increasing the canvas size, in the hope that the cropping would only affect the black border and leave the image untouched.

Can any body please help me to understand the best way to overcome this? My initial presentations are on a projector. Then once finished, DVDs will be made for home use.

Are there any photoshop actions or advice that could help??
