That won’t show up in overscan, and since you are shooting green, you can crop the top.

you can make it out across the top their
this was just a still taken from the timeline -
Standard Def video is 720×486. DV video is 720×480…6 lines of information missing. What you are seeing is the missing 6 lines of video. This is WELL into the overscan of TVs, and will never be seen outside of FCP or a QT movie of the project.

Shane explained it perfectly. It’s video, and how it works.
if you don’t want to see it, crop. But remember, it will not show up on a tv.

[lear2006] “unfortunately its on qt exports as well”
As I said it would. But your TV and EVERY other TV in the country will hide it. You lose about 5% of your image on the outer edges due to the plastic that holds the screens in place. This is why you have TV SAFE guides…to show you what is guarenteed to be seen by all TVs.

well does anyone else have this?
this is also going to be flv’ed so will cropping hurt the quality? -
I crop out the crap on all my web/flash movies. That little line is nothing.
Don’t worry about it, you are just fine.

“But your TV and EVERY other TV in the country will hide it.”…
Yes and no. I think this whole “title safe” thing is going away, with the advent of LCDs and Plasmas. And computers as video playback devices. The only place you won’t see it is on a CRT, so you’d be wise to crop it, just to be… safe.
Any other thoughts on title-safe going away? I’ve been nailed on this now twice, fortunately (or not) the projects weren’t going to broadcast, but I’d think I was in the clear until I played a test DVD back on my laptop or home LCD.
