Graphics Graphics can allow you to accomplish several different objectives. Use graphics to break up your video and provide detailed information. They are also useful in demonstrating difficult concepts.

Big Graphics

When creating graphics, make them large enough to be viewed on smaller size monitors, or televisions. Keep in mind that the audience might also be viewing from far away from the screen.

Limit Information

Too much information on the screen can confuse your viewers. If you have a lot of information, break it up into several screens. Keep the info up long enough for your audience to digest, but not so long as to bore them.

The Safety Zone

Stay out of the safety zone at the edge of a shot. If you place graphics too close to the edge of the screen, you run the risk of having them cut off when viewed on different monitors.

Use safe colors

When creating graphics, be sure to use colors that are TV safe. High concentrations of chroma can result in colors bleeding into one another. Professor Monkey has noticed that reds can be particularly dangerous when highly saturated.
