Note: The Titler's Show Video value uses the same time display format specified in the project settings. For example, if
you are working in a PAL project, the Show Video value represents PAL timecode.
About title-safe and action-safe margins
The title-safe and action-safe margins in the Titler's drawing area designate the title's visible safe zones. These
margins are on by default.
Safe zones are useful when you edit for broadcast and videotape. Most consumer TV sets use a process called
overscan, which cuts off a portion of the outer edges of the picture, allowing the center of the picture to be enlarged.
The amount of overscan is not consistent across TVs. To ensure that everything fits within the area that most TVs
display, keep text within the title-safe margins, and all other important elements within the action-safe margins.
Note: If you are creating content for the web or for CD, the title-safe and action-safe margins do not apply to your project
because the entire image is displayed in these media.

Adding text to titles
About text for titles
When adding text to a title, you can use any font that's already on your system, including Type 1 (PostScript
),
®
OpenType
, and TrueType fonts. Installing Premiere Pro (and other Adobe applications) adds fonts to the shared
®
Adobe resources.
Depending on the tool you choose in the Titler, you can create point text or paragraph text. When you create point
text, you specify an insertion point where you want to begin typing. Typing continues on a single line unless you
enable the word wrap feature, which continues the text on a new line when it reaches the edge of the title-safe area.
When you create paragraph text, you specify a text box in which the text fits. The text in a text box wraps automati-
cally within the borders of the box.
