Illustrator , new document has transparency grid, green lines and white background

[JNKAJ7]

Hello, 

I pressed something and now all of my new documents are opening up with green lines and the transparency grid. In the create new document section, under advanced, it keeps defaulting to medium transparency grid. If I turn it off, then I still get the white background and green lines. I've read other posts regarding this and haven't found one that worked for me. Please help!

OS

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7
Illustrator version 25.0

You used a video preset to create a new document.

Use a print or illustration preset for new documents.

Thanks Ton! Such an easy fix and I've wasted too much time trying to figure out what I had done wrong. Much appreciated!
