The idea being that most modern 4:3 televisions will actually display everything within the 5% margin no problem. And you're not losing quite as much screen space for your graphics. Which one is appropriate will depend on the client and broadcaster. The 5/10% will meet traditional 4:3 title safe limits when center-cut, the BBC/EBU one wont.

The producers want the titles to be in 4:3 safety. I got the Digital Heaven plug in and there are 2 versions for 4:3 as follows; Center Cutout (5%/10%) Center Cutout (BBC/EBU) The titles are out of title safety for Center Cutout (5%/10%) But in for Center Cutout (BBC/EBU) What is the difference. Should I be worried that the titles will be cut off on some TV sets? I am working on a show, shot and cut in 16×9. The producers want the titles to be in 4:3 safety.

The titles are out of title safety for

What is the difference. Should I be worried that the titles will be cut off on some TV sets?
