Scroll the Expert view timeline during preview
You can set an option to automatically scroll the Expert view timeline from right to left, when a sequence is larger than
the visible timeline. This way you don’t have to zoom out to see the entire sequence.

> G
eneral.

No Scroll Doesn’t scroll the Expert view timeline.
Page Scroll Scrolls the visible section of the Expert view timeline one page at a time.
Smooth Scroll Scrolls the Expert view timeline while the current-time indicator stays in the center of the visible
timeline.
View safe zones in the Monitor panel
You can view safe zone margins (guides) in the Monitor panel to determine if any text or objects in your project fall
outside the safe zone. When text or objects fall outside the safe zone, they may be clipped when played back on certain
screens. Safe zone margins are for your reference and are not included in previews or export.
