How to send Safe Area guides to external client monitor

PostTue Jun 29, 2021 11:01 pm

Is there a way to turn on/off Safe Area guides for external monitors? Currently I use the decklink 4k extreme 12G to route out to my grading and client monitors but the safe area guides seem to only be UI-based.

Is there a toggle for this similar to the power windows visibility toggle for the color page? Oddly enough, the safe area guides DO appear on my external feeds when in the color page but not in the edit page but none of the new Cut page overlay features (social media / Broadcast and Film) show in the externals.

When you're in the color page the safe title chart is sent to the video out.

Right, so is there a way to do that in the edit page? And more specifically is there a way to send the new Cut Page overlays to the external monitors? Clients commonly ask for guides up to see what it will look like in different aspects (like when we do a trim pass for socials)

It's great that all of the overlays are now built into 17 but they seem to be only visible in the UI
