Chapter 2 Setting Up a Project 33
Starting a New Project and Setting Defaults
When you open LiveType, an untitled default project appears in the interface.
If you want to start a new project when LiveType is already open, you need to open a
new default project.
To open a new project:
m Choose File > New.
A new project with an empty Canvas appears and an “Untitled” project tab is added to
the Timeline.
Note: At least one LiveType project must be open at any time, so if you close the only
open project, a new default project automatically opens.
You can configure your LiveType interface and save your settings as the default. Default
settings include project properties, font and media choices, Canvas options, the tabs
that are revealed, and various other settings. This is particularly useful for saving your
preferred output format, so you don’t have to reconfigure the project properties each
time you open a project.
To save your default settings:
1 Set up a LiveType project with the settings and configuration you want.
2 Choose LiveType > Settings > Remember Settings.
Every time you subsequently open a new project or open LiveType, the current default
settings apply. Content elements in the original project are not saved as part of the
default project.
It is possible to find yourself with a default configuration that’s undesirable and
difficult to get out of. You can easily wipe clean your settings and revert to the original
LiveType settings.
To erase your project settings:
m Choose LiveType > Settings > Clear Settings.
