System information
Preview Mode Description
Grid Choose Grid to display vertical and horizontal lines over your video.
You can use the grid to help you align objects.
Set the grid spacing using the Horizontal grid divisions and Vertical
grid divisions settings on the Video tab in the Preferences dialog.
Safe Areas The Video Preview window displays the entire video frame, although
most television monitors will not display all of this data. Choose Safe
Areas to display borders around your video to represent the visible
areas for action and titles. The outer border marks the area that will
be visible on a television screen, and the inner border is the suggested
area for titles.
After verifying that your action and titles are within the safe areas,
however, you should test your project on the destination television
monitor.
Set the grid spacing using the Action safe area and Title safe area
settings on the Video tab in the Preferences dialog.

If you're working with a video that contains closed captions, you can
preview your captions by using overlays in the Video Preview window.
Select CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4 to turn on the caption type that you
want to preview.

mask and display it in grayscale.
