Frame Lines component
The Frame Lines component allows you to render letter/pillar boxes in Game view to represent the sensor size or aspect ratio of a target format, as well as a center marker.
The Frame Lines component automatically applies to any Camera component of the GameObject it belongs to. This component must be on the same Game Object as the Virtual Camera Actor to be able to control it from the device.
Note that in the context of Virtual Camera workflows, the aspect ratio and enabled state of the gate mask, aspect ratio lines, and the center marker are controlled via the Virtual Camera Device settings or the app, and not via the component inspector.
Gate Mask
The gate mask applies a fill to the area outside of the "film gate", or the difference between the resolution gate (the aspect ratio of the game view) and the film gate (the aspect ratio of the sensor)

Using Frame Lines in URP
If you are using the Universal Render Pipeline (URP), you must enable the VirtualCameraScriptableRenderFeature on the project's UniversalRenderPipelineAsset.
To do this, press the Add VirtualCameraScriptableRenderFeature button.
