20th Century Studios (Modified Screens)

1st Screen (1994-2002)
Visuals: Just the same modified screen used on Trifecta/Universal/DreamWorks/Paramount home video and television releases.

Variant: On a 2001 syndicated print to Black Widow and an airing of Broadcast News, the text is in a Bold Times New Roman font. Also, it's videotaped.

Technique: Same as the Paramount/Universal modified screen.

Audio: Same as the Paramount/Universal modified screen.

Availability: It can be seen on the 1995 VHS of The Pagemaster and the full-screen DVDs of Cast Away (also seen on the VHS), The Sound of Music, and Digimon: The Movie. Also seen on a 2001 syndicated print to Black Widow and an airing of Broadcast News.

2nd Screen (1994-January 20, 2009)
Visuals: There is the words "The following film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit this screen" on a black background.

Variant:
 * Some TV prints of Fox movies do feature this screen, with the text usually reading :
 * "...formatted to fit this screen and edited for content."
 * "...formatted to fit this screen and edited to run in the time allotted and for content."
 * "...formatted to run in the time allotted and edited for content."
 * On colorized films, the text reads "The following is a colorized version of the original black-and-white film."
 * On Disney Channel's print of Dr. Dolittle 3 and the DVS VHS release of Cheaper by the Dozen 2, the text is in a different font.

Technique: Fading effects. None for DVDs that are in the full-screen format, except for the full-screen DVD of Independence Day.

Audio: None, but on the audio description VHS of Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), a narrator reads the text.

Availability: Seen on all Fox releases during the era (mostly VHS) including Ice Age, Baby's Day Out, Home Alone 3, Garfield: The Movie, Robots, and Roll Bounce, among others, as well as Disney's VHS releases of Finding Nemo and Shanghai Knights (in place of their modified screen), and the pan-and-scan VHS/Laserdisc of Titanic (in place of Paramount's modified screen). Also seen on some full-screen DVDs of the era (without the fade in and fade out) and on a few fullscreen Anchor Bay releases, including Manhunter. Surprisingly, this also appeared at the start of Comet's print of Stigmata (a MGM film) and an old syndicated print of Savoy Pictures' No Escape as seen on WAMI-TV in 2001. The "...formatted to fit this screen and edited to run in the time allotted and for content." version makes a strange appearance at the start of the 2002 Mexican VHS release of Minority Report. The last release to use this was the fullscreen DVD of Igor. It was also seen at the start of 2009 Disney Channel and Disney XD airings of Catch That Kid.

4th Screen (Late 2000s-2020)
Visuals: On a black background the text in the same font as the 3rd MGM modified screen reads "The following film has been modified from its original version.

Variants:
 * On a syndicated print of I, Robot as seen on WGN America (now NewsNation) in 2011, the text is bigger and in a different font.
