4 Tips
n Some televisions don’t display everything
that you see in iDVD’s screen. To make
sure your text will appear, choose Show
TV Safe Area from the View menu, or
press Command-T, and position the text
and buttons within the area that’s not
shaded (Figure 2.25).
n If you’re working in widescreen mode,
choose Show Standard Crop Area from the
View menu, or press Command-Option-T,
to see where a standard-definition televi-
sion showing a full-screen image will crop
your menu (Figure 2.26).
Figure 2.25 Items placed outside the safe area may
get cropped out when played back on a television.

hacked off by standard-definition TVs, but it won’t
matter if you use the Standard Crop Area indicator to
position your text.
