This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] RE: Re: Title tool colors

It's a bug and Avid has been notified about it. I posted it here a few months back. What is happening is that there is a checkbox for safe colors in the Title tool. It doesn't work anymore.

I never knew bout that check box before because it is defaulted on so your titles were always legal. I haven't checked the newest build to see if it's finally fixed or not. Real PITA.

Funny thing it didn't set off any alarms on my Tek 7020 so I thought it was just specular transients but looking closer there was just no way I could let the show go out this way. Wish I'd caught it last night at 3am when I was outputting but now I get to reoutput till 3am tonight to make it right. Did I forget to thank Avid for this. '-)
