Graphics

I am wondering if there is a way to make some text which is visible in the sequencer preview but that will not be visible on actual output?

I have built some logic fail-safes into my current scenes which turn of everything if the operator enters an invalid option, in order to prevent a 'broken' graphic from airing. (I have things like header logo options and number of rows dynamically changeable based on a numerical input by the operator). Rather than JUST turning everything off, I thought it wold be cool to trigger text objects to appear which state exactly WHERE they entered an invalid number, so they could correct it easier.. but having it visible only in the preview would prevent that error message from going live if the OP is running on autopilot. I would have for a national audience to see something like "INVALID NUMBER OF ROWS - CHOOSE 4-6"

Create a layer object and check the box called "render layer in preview only" on the "Rendering" tab of the Layer object.
Any objects in this layer object will only be rendered when rendered in an XPression preview window - like the Sequencer, XPression Plugins and Desktop Preview and Remote Sequencer.
