How can you view the location of the title safe area while editing?

Enabling "Title Safe" under the View menu is the correct method to view the location of the title safe area while editing in Adobe After Effects. Title safe areas are critical during the editing process because they help ensure that important text and graphics remain visible on various screens, particularly in television and video formats where parts of the image might be cut off.

When you activate the Title Safe option, guidelines will appear over your composition, indicating the safe zones where text and graphics should be positioned to avoid being cropped in final outputs. This visual aid allows editors to make informed decisions about the placement of titles, ensuring that all essential information is presented correctly and legibly across different viewing platforms.

Other methods like using the Guides feature or applying safe area markers might provide additional reference points or helpers, but they do not specifically represent the title safe zones as clearly as enabling the Title Safe option does. Rendering a preview, on the other hand, is useful for reviewing the entire composition but does not assist during the editing phase in locating or managing the title safe areas.
