Safe Title Plugin?
I have a client who wants to see the title safe/action safe on the client monitor almost all of the session. I thought about building one as a graphic element that I could put on the top layer and just turn it on/off for him and remove it when he approves things, but is there a plugin out there that does this?
Best I can tell, the title safe overlay only shows up on the computer monitor and not the output. Or am I missing something simple?
Thanks
Bob

That’s correct. There are some pro monitors that have a safe title you can turn on, but FCP doesn’t do this automatically.
If you have Photoshop CS, it has safe title guides which you can use to create a graphical overlay.
I have a 17″ Apple Studio Display as my second monitor and can always put the Canvas on there full screen for the client if they want to see title safe. That’s probably the easiest thing to do, just add another computer monitor.

The DH Widesafe filter may be just the thing:

It’s really designed for working in 16×9, but I think it will work for your purposes. It get’s applied as a generator to the timeline.

If you want this for the client monitor and not the computer monitor there are devices that are not too expensive that can do this without slowing FCP down with a plug in.
Horita makes one that goes for about $350 new. You can often find them cheaper on eBay.

If your client monitor is a CRT, be careful of burn in.
If you go with any kind of display, external or filter/generator, eventually it WILL burn in to a CRT monitor.
Just remember to turn it off when the client leaves!
