  • Viewing Video In Your Program Monitor (Action Safe / Title Safe)

    Posted by Sjohnson86 on October 26, 2006 at 3:41 am

    Hi guys, just installed Premiere Pro 2.0 today, and was wondering why is it when you watch your videos (from the timeline) on the program monitor, the video is inside the safe title area and the safe action area. Is there a default that you can set it to, so you don’t have to manually enlarge your video to the safe regions all of the time? i have included a screenshot below so you know what i am talking about.

    thanks,
    scott.

    Your video is 640×352 with a square pixel, the safe areas are just markers to be used as guides they do not have anything to do with sizing the video, since it looks like a wide screen project the video resolution would have to be 720×480 with a 1.2 pixel ratio to fill the program screen properly.

    Select ‘FIT” as your option under the monitor.

    As long as he has DV anamorphic WS project settings(720×480(1.2) the monitor screen will show just what he has(640×352(1.0)) even if he selects FIT, he needs to right clik on the clip and use the Scale To Frame size, or use motion controls to rescale or sets up a custom project using 640×352(1.0) for the aspect, the source mointor will always show the video full screen as is if possible.
    If he tries to export a DV WS project using the source footage as is he will have a black border around his WS video just like its showing in the program monitor currently.
    I have know idea what a custom project will look like exported but if it not the proper settings dv devices don’t like it.
