That is the range check and it means everything is okay. You turn it off in the view menu. I alwaya leave it on in the canvas.

Have a wonderful day.

Control-Z is the keyboard shortcut you pressed. It toggles it on and off. You probably meant to press Cmd-Z.

All the best,

BTW, if you have an upward arrow and the green check mark, it means your luma level is optimized. Now ya know!

Or shift+z. I use that all day and often hit ctrl z by accident.

I have a lower third graphic that was created in After Effects and is now in a QuickTime Movie format. When I import it into FCP it plays fine as a stand alone preview. However, when I play it on the time line to play over a video, it plays very shaky. Is there something I can do to remedy this? I made sure it is fully rendered.

Thanks,
