Question

Hello,

I don`t know how this happened: When I select an object in the preview, there isn`t a blue frame around the object. I still can edit the object, but I don`t see it`s edges. This is the blue frame that I need to see:

    I've seen folks report this when the Program Monitor is too small, usually because one is working on a Laptop, whose screens aren't really large enough to do this job well.

    Resizing the Program Monitor larger usually solves the issue.

    You are correct, that was indeed the issue. I simply resized the screen, and I was able to see all the selected objects.

    Looks like you are using a mask. If you are talking about manipulating the mask (blue frame) like making bigger, you'll need to do that in the Program window not the Preview window.

    Hi Gerik,

    thanks a lot for your answer. So this blue thing that shows you what you are selecting is apparently called a "mask"?

    I am working in the "program" window. And I can edit every object there: I type text, I move objects etc.

    But I dont see the blue mask anymore when I select something. This is a huge problem.

    Go into the Effects Controls and look for a Mask and delete.
