How to get rid of red rectangle in gray rectangle cropping box?

A little box has appeared on the right side of the preview screen. It has a small red rectangle in a larger gray rectangle. You can move around the red rectangle to crop the frame.

The problem is, I don't want to crop the frame! How do I get rid of the red rectangle thing?

I've tried the "crop" button and read the documentation about cropping but there's no mention of this red rectangle. I looked at the project settings and it looks good (1920x1080).

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

no, you don't crop the video.

It is just shown, when you set your preview window to a setting which doesn't 'fit'. Then, the red rectangle indicates which part of the whole frame you see; or, drag it to a part you like to see.

Set your Preview window to a smaller size (like '50%' or simply 'fit') = no red cross rectangle.

for cropping, use the cropping tool
