Re: PSD menu cropped in Encore

The problem isn't with Encore, its with the monitors. All TV monitors have what's called "overscan", which means that the image on the screen is at least 10% enlarged. On older sets it can be as much as 20%.

To be sure your menu displays properly, design it so that all buttons and text fit within what post production people call "tv safe", a rectangle centered in your 720x480 frame that measures no larger than 648x432 (10% smaller than the whole frame).

Also, I don't know if this could be a factor, but only professional NTSC is 720x486. Consumer DV is 720x480.
