Motion pages (scrolls and crawls) that you send to Live are stored as bitmap animation files (with an .avi file
extens ion), suitable for playback in Live Desktop’ s DDR . These are stored in similar fashion to title pages,
such as D:\Media\Clips\ sessionname \Motion\folder. The content of motion pages cannot be edited in the
Live Desktop .
When you select Send All Pages to Live, each page in the project is exported in turn to the appropriate format
and location. This means they are readily accessible in the Live Desktop’s Media Browser afterward, for easy
addition to a Media Player playlist. Title Page icons will appear grouped under their project names in the
Media Browser’s File Pane when you select the session name in the Location List at left.
21.1.2
NAMING STAND-IN IMAGES
Among other things, the Title Editor in Media Players (DDR, Still and Titles) allows you to substitute a
different image for stand- in (or “placeholder”) images in Title Pages (.cgxml) e xported from LiveText
(working with stand-in images is discussed in Section 11.2).
When creating title pages for this purpose in LiveText, you may find it saves you time to add the string
“_placeholder” somewhere in the filename of images you prepare for this purpose. For example, you might
name an image "headshot_placeholder.png", or "_PLACEHOLDER_crest.jpg".
Images named in this manner will automatically appear as stand-in images (unlocked) in the Title Pages you
export using the
Send to Live options in LiveText’s File menu.
