Chapter 6, The Player

You can use masks to preview the target of the Player view or the fullscreen Player in different film format aspect ratios. You can use guides to show the frame outline, as well as the safe areas within the frame for titles and action.

Note: You can display masks and guides in the fullscreen Player only if you entered it through a Player view.

1. In the Player view or fullscreen Player, middle-click or press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and go through the south gate.

2. In the Display tab of the Player options, locate the Masks and Guides areas.

   

3. In the Masks area, select the mask you want the Player to display, or select None if you do not want to display a mask. Each mask represents the aspect ratio of a specific film format.

   The Player updates immediately to reflect the mask you select.

4. In the Guides area, enable the guides you want the Player to display.

   The Player updates immediately to reflect the guides you enable or disable.
