Video Framing

Introduction

Framing is the way that the camera is positioned to help the viewer engage with the content. There are common standards that are used to best help the variety of devices best show the content and to also ensure that things look the way people expect it to.

Safe Areas

While most mobile devices will show all the content on their screen, this is not always true for all devices. This was actually much worse with old CRT devices, but modern HD televisions often still have issues. In fact, this can even be seen in the lobby televisions at the Hockessin campus, where the screen of the tv extends a bit into the bezel.

For this reason, the best practice is to keep all text and edge items (top of people's heads, baptistry, etc) within 90% of the frame. OBS has this visible on the preview frame.
