Click on the drop down menu box on the top of the Canvas…the right most one, that has a box icon. Click on that and deselect SHOW OVERLAYS.

Those are the TV safe and Title safe guides.

Thanks Shane, but what about when the project goes to compressor what settings do I need to change, cause before I didn’t change nothing, when I put the movie on my new Samsung LED I saw lots of jagged lines, I mean the quality was poor.

Thanks Shane, but what about when the project goes to compressor, the movie looks like 3D movie with out the 3D glasses.

[Shane Ross]

OH…sorry.

Well, I see those sequence settings, but what are your clip settings? What codec are you dealing with? Did you have to render that when you added it to the sequence?

And you don’t say anything about what settings in compressor you are using.

Thanks Shane, but what do you mean by clip settings? and as fas has Compressor, Im using Dvd best quality 150min. And I render everything, when I got done with the project.

Thanks for helping me Shane.

Your footage. What camera was the source footage shot on? How was it captured? To what codec? Your captured media are CLIPS, so what are your CLIP settings? Do they match the sequence settings?

Right click on a clip in the timeline and choose ITEM PROPERTIES. Or look in the Browser under COMPRESSOR

Yes, Shane. To capture I used Sony HDV FX 1000, and at first I used HDV 1080i60, then on Sequence settings on quick time video settings, I change the compressor to HDV 1080p30.

[Shane Ross]

YOu shot 1080i60? So your footage is interlaced?

Hmmmm…well, your sequence settings, while they say 1080p30, still say UPPER FIELD in dominance. Switch that to NONE and see what happens. You will have to re-render.

I sure will Shane and hopefully will work, thanks Shane, have a good one.

Hey Shane, still rendering, now, what do you recommend, should I export via compressor or as a QT file and what presets, or what settings should I change on the compressor ? Thanks.
