Using rulers and guidesYou can display rulers along the sides of the Composition, Layer, and Footage windows to provide a visual guide for positioning and editing your footage. Using the cross hair in the upper left corner of the rulers, you can change the origin, or zero point, in both rulers. Changing the zero point makes it easy to measure from a specific point in the image. By default, rulers are hidden. For added precision in positioning objects, you can create guide lines. You can also lock guide lines to prevent them from being repositioned. Note: Rulers and guide lines are only a reference in the Composition, Layer, and Footage windows. They do not appear in your rendered movie. To display or hide rulers: Choose View > Show Rulers or Hide Rulers. To set the zero point in rulers: Drag the cross hair from the intersection of the two rulers (in the upper left corner) into the image area. ![]() To create, reposition, lock, hide, or remove a guide line:
