1st Screen (1996?-Early 2000s)

Visuals: On a black background, the text "This film has been modified from its original version." in a Bold Italic Arial font fades in first. Then, another text in the same font fades in below : "It has been..." :

    • "...formatted to fit your TV and edited for television."
    • "...formatted to run in the time allotted."
    • "...formatted to fit this screen, and edited to run in the time allotted, and for content."
    • "This film has been modified from its original version and edited for television."
    • "This film has been edited for television."

  • Sometimes, all of the text fades in at the same time.
  • On a 2000 syndicated print of Another Stakeout, the text is in plain Arial, without bold and italic.
  • The text font may varies.
  • On a 2003 syndicated print of The Crow: City of Angels, the text is not italicized and reads: "The following film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit this screen, to run in the time allotted, and edited for content."

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: It used to be seen at the start of many TV prints of Disney-owned films (including Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone, Hollywood, Miramax, and Dimension titles, as well as early Pixar titles) in syndication in the late 90s up until the early 2000s. It survives on old recordings.
