Image safe being projected
I am working on a project that is going to shown at a convention via projection on a 16 x 12 screen. The project is a minute long graphic animation that is going to open up the show. Here is my question: How do image safe areas relate to what will be visible on the screen? I know that if this was going to be deliverd for broadcast, I would need to stay inside the image safe area. But I need to be able to go RIGHT to the edge of my canvas without anything being cut off in order for this to work out the way I need it.

If I kick the video out to my external monitor in underscan mode, the top and bottom of my entire canvas is safe, but is it cutting off a small portion of the left and right sides…

Hi,
All depends on the projectors quality and how its adjusted (both regarding to the luma and colour space and what the projector shows…)
Although normaly a projector (if correctly adjusted) shows what you see in underscan mode on your videomonitor.If you have the opportunity to play a dummy/test on the projector before the convention, Id consider that.

1)If its so that you see more in your canvas in final cut then on your monitor:
Try adjusting horisontal display on your videomonitor.
and if this dont work:
Which contacts do you use from your Mac to the videomonitor?2)If its so that you cant see all your graphics in fcps canvas:
check your export settings match fcps settings (square pixels/nonsquare pixels for instance)hope this helps you out!-)
