Grey bars/zones in Effects Controls and how is this box set around the animated text?

[defaultqm7n3j1nypwz]

Hi,

Premier Pro 2020 version: 14.6.0

Windows 10, 20H2 build

I have two questions and I wonder if they are related.

In the preview window on the right you can see the text live Events that has the text "[Live Events]" and there is some magical box around it that is the barriers for the animations. But how is that set? I'd like to extend that a bit, as it used to say [presents], which fit into that box, but now I need a bit more space.

I also noticed these grey bars left and right in the Effects controls panel. How is that set and what does it do?

Thanks for your help.
