Re: [Avid-L2] 16x9/14x9 title safe + 23.98/59.94 delivery

 

The Title Safety will depend on the broadcaster. I don't believe there's a
formalised standard. But BBC/EBU have adopted a standard that somewhat less
conservative than the traditional 5/10% inset that has been used in 4:3

Here's my guide from the BBC specs:

Here's the BBC delivery guidelines - safety sizes are defines on page 19
