Previewing and Fully Rendering Your Titling Movie

Preview Movie
A preview movie is basically a limited render of your titling movie.
To render a preview movie:
1
Choose File > Render Preview, then choose Wireframe or Normal.
The Normal setting renders your preview at the level defined in the Project Properties
dialog. LiveType looks for the .afd files in your /Library/Application Support/LiveType/
LiveType Data folder if you have used any LiveType media in your composition. If the
data files have not yet been installed, the Missing AFD dialog appears, giving you the
option to install the full data files or to use proxy frames (from the corresponding .afp
files) in the preview.
2
Do one of the following:
 Select “Install missing LiveType Data now.”
This allows you to install the .afd files at a location other than the LiveType Data
folder, but still access them to render previews and final movies. See “
” on page 29 for instructions.
 Select “Use Poster Frames for Tracks with missing Data.”
The preview appears in a separate window. You can save a preview movie by
choosing File > Save As. Otherwise, LiveType deletes the preview movie when you
close the window.
