[Avid-L2] Re: Another minor bug combined with a feature request: SAFE ACTION AND SAFE TITLE WRONG

 

I've definitely seen the bug you mention from time to time on all kind of versions. I've never been able to pin point why it only happens some of the time. I'm also getting things from offline that I believe were left justified but when I align left there is a few pixel shift one way or the other. Not sure what causes that but perhaps the offline folks aren't using align left. It's all annoying but because I'm lazy it's not annoying enough for me to roll up my sleeves and learn Marque. Until the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same.... well you know.

I'm not disagreeing with you facts but if that many people are still watching NTSC most likely over rf modulator ch. 3 I think it's a disservice to the viewers to apply the 5% ish safe title afforded by HD sets.
