Video Editing Ruler – Mac
As video editing requirements continue to grow, so does the demand for assistive tools. One essential tool is the video ruler, which creates reference lines to help manage specific layouts within a video. This is particularly useful for maintaining object positioning over time, as it allows you to set up a scale in accordance with the frame. Filmora offers a video editing ruler that facilitates the creation of these guiding lines. To see how it can be utilized effectively, follow the steps provided:
Index
Step 1. Set Up New Filmora Project
Successfully launch Wondershare Filmora on your Mac and continue to create a new project with the "New Project" option. As you find yourself in the editing interface, select the "Import" button to add your video file.

Step 2. Activate Video Ruler From Preview Window
Once you have imported your video file, continue to drag it across the timeline. Following this, proceed to the preview window and right-click to open a list of options. Select the "Ruler" option in the drop-down menu, or use the "Command + P" shortcut key to activate the ruler. This displays the reference lines and a scale within the preview window for precise editing.

Step 3. Add New Reference Lines
To set up new reference lines, look for the "Guides" option in the same drop-down menu and open a pop-up menu after clicking "Add Guides". There, define the "Color", "Direction", and initiating "Position" of the reference line.

Step 4. Hide and Lock Reference Lines
Furthermore, you can also define other appearance settings for the reference lines in the preview window. If you want to hide all the created reference lines, use the "Hide Guides" option. Similarly, to lock all reference lines in a single position, select the "Lock Guides" option in the drop-down menu.
