 Easy TV : A Guide to Creating TV Safe eZeMatte Themes
Using eZeMatte is a great way to add flair
to your Apple iMovies - but if you are transferring your movie to iDVD or
playing it back on a TV screen, there is something you need to remember.
On a TV screen, a small part of your movie doesn't show up; the
edges!
This is important to consider when creating an eZeMatte
theme graphic. A good rule of thumb for this is a 40 pixel border. If
elements of your graphic are within 40 pixels of the edge of your movie,
there is a good chance they won't be seen on a TV screen. As you can see
from the diagram below, creating themes that are very close to the edge of
the screen will not be displayed. Instead have your eZeMatte themes take
up a little more screen space, and you're ready for TV.
