What are the action and title safe areas?
Televisions do not display the entire video image. Most TVs cut off a certain amount of the video image causing content in these areas to not be viewable.
To compensate for this editors only put important content in places that are called safe areas. The action safe area is ten percent in from the edge of the video image and the title safe area is twenty percent in from the edge of the video image.
