Other Viewer Options
There are additional overlays and options you can use to customize how the viewer appears.
— Safe Area: Choosing View > Safe Area > On lets you turn on Safe Area overlays showing you Title Safe, Action Safe, and other available overlays. If you want to choose the aspect ratio with which these overlays are represented, you can do so from the View > Select Aspect Ratio submenu.
— Show Gray Backgrounds in Viewers: Checking the Show Gray Backgrounds in Viewers box in the User Preference’s UI Settings changes the empty area of the Viewer (if there is any) to a lighter gray, making it easier to see which parts of the viewer are black because of blanking, and which parts are simply empty because of the way the image is zoomed or panned.
Fast Review in the Timeline Viewer
Fast Review plays back your timeline at variable fast forward speeds where the speed of playback is dependent on the length of each clip on the Timeline. Longer clips play back at faster speeds than shorter ones. This feature is designed to allow you to quickly scan through a large amount of material on a timeline.
NOTE: Fast Review does not work for clips in the Source Viewer, only for timelines in the Timeline Viewer.
