When resizing a photo in the window with safe margins on will you see the photo that is left outside the margine or will it be covered up by the black around the picture?

In that Premiere Elements video, with that horizontally oriented image there should be no black border in the end product. During playback you will not see beyond the action safe/title safe areas because you will only see what can be fitted on the TV screen.

I do not know if you noticed, but I thought it was an interesting point. When you create the title which will go in Video 2 above a corresponding image(s) in Video 1, notice that the thumbnail for the title in the Media Panel is Black. Here the Black represents transparency...only the letters will show through.

So do you have to save the titles separately or can you incorporate them in your project?

But, do I have to resize the photo from it's original size ,or just adjust it with the slider in the preveiw window?

Sorry I did not see your "Saving Titles" question until now.

You can leave title just embedded in project saved as well as save title separately.

In Premiere Elements 1, you could save title via Save Button at bottom of Styles Panel. (I am not sure if it is still at this web site, but there used to be a video tutorial on titles done with Premiere Elements 1.)

In Premiere Elements 2 (the version that I have), it becomes less obvious how to do this. The Save Title in Styles is gone.
Highlight the Title in the Media Panel
Go to File Menu/Export/Title
In the dialog box that results, name and designate save location, click Save.

In Premiere Elements 3 version, I believe that it is essentially the same and you go through the File/Export/Title route. But, since I do not presently have the 3 version, you will need to check that out in your Help section if you have the 3 version.

Although coming with a lot of BUTs, the quick answer to your question about PHOTOS is to resize photos (in Photoshop Elements, for example). One of the BUTs is look what happens if you resize down in Premiere Elements using the handles in the Monitor (you could end up with black borders when you get to DVD Preview).

Experiment and explore. Other than Safe Margins, a quick confirmining guess-estimate....view your Monitor in Edit/Render/Switch to DVD Module and take a look at DVD Preview.

"Titles" is another matter altogether. This DOES lend itself to getting within the safe margins with the handles in the Monitor within Premiere Elements.

Be that as it may, I think that you will get a better overview by the following.

Have you been to the link cited below and seen its suggestions?

Also, are you OK with the concept of Safe Margins?
Outer boundary/Action and Inner boundary/Title.

I am assuming that you are referring to the link for the "8/19 Premiere Video Tutorial" given in this Thread. I just tried it, and it is working OK. Give it another try.

Also, check out the FAQs about viewing those videos. That link is in the same vicinity as the link for the tutorial.

From time to time problems may occur when trying to view a video here, but they seem to resolve by "trying and trying again".

Have you had any problems viewing the two free videos in the Learning Center of this web site?

Let us know the outcome.
