Safe areas visualization
Safe areas are zones inside the screen that are guaranteed to not be cropped off.
Compliance with safe areas is required for broadcasting (at least the 16:9 ones). It's also important because modern screens still have overscan and extra-wide phones can now crop videos.
Feature (ideas)
- Add an option to show safe areas in the monitor. These could be two rectangles (not filled) with a small outline, or the zone outside the safe areas could be darkened.
- Add an setting to customize the width/height of the action and title safe areas per project.
- Add a setting to change the color of the outline, or make the outlines black and white so they are always visible. Another alternative is to use a blend mode like Difference.
