Safe Title

[Zoraida]

Wehave operated our own title agency for over forty years. Safe Title Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RKPT, provides buyers, sellers, lending institutions, and developers with title and escrow services for residential and commercial real estate transactions of all sizes. By offering a wide range of title services, we enable our clients to close transactions with efficiency while providing a unique focus on customer service.

Safe Title has long-standing relationships with several local lending institutions. Safe Title also works closely with many residential and commercial builders and developers with acquisition, construction and permanent financing assistance.

Safe Title Agency will do a comprehensive review of public real estate records to determine the status and condition of title to the subject property. The title search process provides insight into the history of the rights and interests to the subject property. The search also determines whether there are other defects to the title, including: secondary or junior mortgages; lines of credit; judgments; demands; liens; unpaid taxes; or special assessments.

The title search will also uncover any easements, leases, or other restrictions that might encumber the property. If there are questions about property lines or encroachments, Safe Title can arrange for a surveyor to conduct a survey of the property.

In conjunction with the title services, Safe Title Agency can act as the closing or escrow agent for real estate transactions. In that role, Safe Title ensures that all necessary documentation is distributed and signed, and receives and distributes payments related to the transaction.

Actually I think the BC Authority is doing it backwards. Normally you count how much into the screen you set them, not how much of the total screen is left, i.e. the standard is normally 10% for action, 20% for titles.

Hey shooter, where did you get the 2012 specs from? I'm in New Zealand as well, I thought 14x9 title safe was the standard here? Even that drives me nuts as it is, we're turning off all the 4x3 signals, I really don't want to make all my 16x9 images 4x3 title safe. UGLY.

I'm very tempted to ignore it until TVNZ send me out another set of specs. The last one definitely said 14x9, and we're consistently 14x9 title safe and they never pull us up on it. They usually send me one at the start of each year. We also sell a lot of documentaries overseas, 14x9 title safe has been what they're after as well, I really don't want to have to start making two versions of everything...

I don't know the specifics for how they describe 14x9 title safe in the UK, but we had a documentary get pulled up for being out of title safe and after a bit of back and forth it was shown that they had their monitor set up wrong and it was actually within a couple pixels of title safe (was very close, but definitely safe) so I'm pretty sure they have the same standard.

If I asked you what does 75% area of your apartment equal..would you deduce that by minusing 25% of the total area or would you do the calculation from 75%. ( i.e would you work out what 25% was first then minus it?)

For some yes, for some no. Some flat screen TV's show every single pixel. Others don't, another factor though you have to consider is that some people have their flat screens set to zoom the picture. Which is why it's safest to go ahead and follow the safe area guides. So even though flat screens tend to not cut off as much of the picture as older CRT's, they still do sometimes cut off the picture even if they are setup correctly. Generally speaking though only more expensive flat screens actually show the full picture.

And it's not just titles. It drives me nuts when a director will compose a two-shot with the characters in the 4:3 action safe, with empty space to the sides. Its like, man what the hell was the point of going widescreen if the people who make the content aren't going to fill it up with anything useful!?

In this specific instance I couldn't agree with Jim more... I can't stand seeing 16x9 programming where the shots are framed based on 4x3 safe areas. You end up seeing over the shoulder interview shots with both sides wide open with nothing there in the shot to fill the sides. It looks plain silly when viewed on a 16x9 TV set.

Title safe is a guideline, where you should place titles to be nicely composed inside the frame. Action safe will be actually missing from your image on all TVs that are not capable of and not set to underscan.

For compositing or video editing software (e.g after effects or premiere), the safe areas are used to let the artist know how much of the physical TV or Monitor screen will show your image, and this depends on the image definition standards. The older the TV is, the less image it shows.

The toolbar should say 'artboard' - after the input box labelled: Name, there are some small icons, the second along says "Display options" if you hover over it. Hidden under that icon are various options to show and hide the different aspects of the video grid if I'm correct in understanding what you're asking for.

I'll repost, to gain more eyes, but if someone has a useful answer, please respond here as well for the sake of the archive. Again, to clarify for Monika since perhaps I'm not as clear as I can be, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to toggle on/off the guidelines discussed above in the Artboard preferences (crosshairs, action/title safe).

Those are actually a different set, but that's good to know, and they do look related. Why they're there is beyond me, and why they aren't coupled with the Artboard crosshairs & title safe or incorporated into regular guide/pref functionality seems weirder still.

I'd also be interested in the question AntifreezeDesign asked: would it be possible to toggle of the Cross Hairs / Center Mark / Video Safe -guides with a keyboard shortcut. It's pretty tedious having to go through Document Setup > Edit Artboards

What you are describing does not exist in the current version of Illustrator from Spring of 2018. I have wasted the last half hour trying to find how to turn the Title Safe & Action Safe guides OFF. I remember there used to by those little buttons next to the artboard name box, but I can't find anything like them anywhere. Please somebody help. Is this a bug in the newer versions of Illustrator?

In the new update of Illustrator, click on "Edit Artboards" in the Properties panel. Then under Quick Actions in that pane, click "Artboard Options" then you can check or uncheck the Video Safe/Center Mark/Cross Hairs options.

I apologize for the rudimentary nature of this question, but I am not a photoshop user, someone else is making photoshop files for me to use in a video and they are unaware of the title safe/ action safe area of the frame.

Older televisions can display less of the space outside of the safe area than ones made more recently. Flat panel screens, plasma displays and liquid crystal display (LCD) screens generally can show most of the picture outside the safe areas.

The size of the title-safe area is typically specified in pixels or percent. The NTSC and PAL analog television standards do not specify official overscan amounts, and producers of television programming use their own guidelines.

The title-safe area or graphics-safe area[1] is, in television broadcasting, a rectangular area which is far enough in from the four edges, such that text or graphics show neatly: with a margin and without distortion. This is applied against a worst case of on-screen location and display type. Typically corners would require more space from the edges, but due to increased quality of the average display this is no longer the concern it used to be, even on CRTs.

If the editor of the content does not take care to ensure that all titles are inside the title-safe area, some titles in the content could have their edges chopped off when viewed in some screens.[2][3]

Video editing programs that can output video for either television or the Web can take the title-safe area into account. In Apple's consumer-grade NLE software iMovie, the user is advised to uncheck the QT Margins checkbox for content meant for television, and to check it for content meant only for QuickTime on a computer.[4] Final Cut Pro can show two overlay rectangles in both its Viewer and Canvas; the inner rectangle is the title-safe area and the outer rectangle is the action-safe area.[5]

In the illustration, the green area is referred to as the "title-safe" area (note that these colors are for illustration only and do not appear on the television screens). This area will be seen by all television screens, no matter when they were made, unless the user has modified the settings. The term "title-safe" originated from the fact this is where it is safe to display text such as lower thirds or full-screen graphics listing information such as telephone numbers.

Depending on how a television set is adjusted, viewers can see a larger area than the title-safe area. The action-safe area is a larger rectangle, consisting of the green title-safe area and a rectangle around it shown in yellow. As of 2007[update], most television stations and networks will place information within this area.[citation needed] This area can be considered the "margin" of the television screen in that picture elements are generally kept out of this area to create a buffer around the edge of the screen so elements don't pile up against the edge of the screen. If the station uses a permanent digital on-screen graphic, it is placed just near the corner of the yellow area.

However, the yellow area might be used if the television station wants the information to block against the edge of the screen. Many stations (e.g. BBC News) place tickers that run horizontally in some of the yellow area.
