area underneath timecode in timeline??

[rentals_5564]

What is this little grey area underneath the ruler in my timeline? How do I get rid of it? it has these two blue bars at the beginning and end of my timeline where I can adjust the in and out point of my timeline...I don't want it there lol.

To clarify there's a yellow line below the area I'm referring to

To get rid of the grey area, delete the In Point and Out Point by pressing Ctrl+Shift+X.

That is the Work Area Bar. Think of it like a secondary In/Out point that you can use if you are repeatedly exporting only a certain section of your timeline. You can set the Work Area to that section, and when you export set it to only export the Work Area, and then you can continue to use In/Out points moving around as you work, while leaving the Work Area bar where it is.

You can turn this off in the Timeline panel menu (the three horizontal lines in the Timeline panel tab). Just un-check Work Area Bar.
