Bumper: 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."

  • "...formatted to fit this screen and edited for content."

Variants:

  • The text may varies.
  • There is a Spanish language version.
  • On old TV prints of Tough Guys, The 13th Warrior and Rushmore, the text is in a different font and reads "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit the screen and edited both for content and to run in the time allotted."

FX/SFX: Just the simple fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Common on TV prints of Disney-owned titles since the mid-2000s. Also seen on some modern TV prints of 20th Century Studios titles since 2020. Surprisingly, this can be seen at the start of VH1's print of Romeo Must Die, a Warner Bros. film.
