In the Frame Format panel of the Fusion Settings window (available in the Fusion menu), there
are two film guide settings that you can use to customize these guides.
Guide 1 contains four fields that specify the offset from the edges of the image for the
left, top, right, and bottom guides, in that order. As with all offsets in Fusion, this is a
resolution-independent number where 1 is the width of the full image and 0.5 is half the
width of the image.
Guide 2’s text box is used to set the aspect ratio of the projection area.
