I was also looking for a way to do this. But it’s been 7 years since this solution was provided. Is there still now way to get an SD safe margin overlay in Premiere Pro?

I was just asking if anyone else was having sudden trouble after the 15.0.1 update.

I had Adobe support poking around and they couldn’t find anything. I had to revert to version 15.0.0 to get it back the way it was. Lost a lot of time on this though.

AE would suddenly lag for about 20 seconds when opening a file. Same with saving one. Also the comp preview would also take its time before appearing.

Anyway, all back to the way it was now. Guess I’ll leave it that way for a while.

Thanks so much for answering my question.
For the first time, earlier today, I went all the way to 32 chars. per line.
Previously, I limited the captions to the same width as the text in my lower third which is within the safe zone for SD.
I guess I have to go back to doing it that way now.
Well, at least I know now. thanks!

THANK YOU!
I get this problem every now and then from our Voice actor. It’s not a huge problem until I equalize it. And then the “off-centering” becomes much, much worse.
I tried your Normalize trick and it worked perfectly. Made it louder but that was easily fixed.

That’s what I was thinking but wanted to make sure. It seems like every time I ask a station for specs, they send me their FTP info and ask “Is this what you want?”

Well, I’ve been ignoring it when they say lower field first and so far they’ve accepted them. I still thought I should look into it though.

I know it’s been years since you asked this question, but I’m sure there are others, like me, who got this thread in a search and found no solution. I’m not sure if this is the same thing, but I had 3D text which was animated in a pre-comp. But when I brought it into my main comp, the background went black. And my Y-axis rotations were weird; there was no perspective. After almost punching my screen I realized that my Comp Camera was set to Front. After switching it back to Active Camera, all was well.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to write that out. I haven’t even been taking care of many of the things you brought up. I’ve just been scraping by, but knowing the whole time that my audio could be better. I’m going to look up each point you made one by one. Thanks!

By the way, when you say the master should be 1080 60p, do you mean that literally as opposed to 1080 59.94p?

Thanks so much. I obviously have to look into this more. I just finished making masters at 1080 60i. Time to start over.
