Video Safe frame - better access

Show center mark, show cross hairs and Video Safe frame shortcut or better access. 

 

Now to do it I have to go into artboard options and toggle them on or off over there. Could Adobe add this feature into regular properties panel or more accessible place?   

Correct answer Monika Gause

Do you need to regularly change them from on to off? Or is this just about creating a new file with or without?

 

If the latter: in the New document dialog box either select the Video&Film preset or don't.

 

If you need to toggle this constantly while working: please post a feature request at https://illustrator.uservoice.com

Thanks for respond, I will use the link which you provide. The problem is I have to on/off this during projecting process, not only when create document. Also, I realize there is a small bug in the green ruler. When I create document with size 1920x1080 the green ruler show size as a 1431x1080. I double check that and the editor rule show right value (1920x1080).

Can you check the pixel aspect ratio of the Video Ruler?
