Viewing Safe Zones and Grids
You can superimpose a grid or video-safe zones over an image to better judge the placement of objects in the image. Displaying grids in a Layer or Composition panel can help to you align elements or keep them within the viewable area of the screen. Obviously, these simple visual guides aren't included in the final output.
To show video-safe zones and grids, click open the Grid and Guides pop-up menu in the Footage, Composition, or Layer panel and choose the option(s) you want (see Figure 12):
- Title/Action Safe (see Figure 13)
- Proportional Grid (see Figure 14)
- Grid (see Figure 15)
You can display any combination of zones and guides at the same time.
