8 Previewing and Fully Rendering
Your Titling Movie
As your project progresses, you’ll want to view the results
of your changes every step of the way, until you’re ready
to generate the final output.
LiveType offers several modes and choices for managing the time it takes to
render previews.
Previewing Your Work
Viewing a frame of your titling movie is as simple as moving the playhead in the
Timeline to any frame marker and looking at the Canvas elements. Obviously, you also
need to be able to see the action of your movie. LiveType offers several ways to do this.
Live Wireframe Preview
The Live Wireframe Preview window in the upper-right corner of the Inspector
continually scrolls through your animation, with small bounding boxes indicating the
movement of each character or object. This feature gives you an indication of your
project’s motion and timing at any moment.
To freeze or unfreeze the Live Wireframe Preview:
m Click inside the Live Wireframe Preview window in the Inspector.
