Working With Objects, Textures, and Imported Elements

Importing Graphics, Images, and Movies

Graphical elements in a wide range of formats can be incorporated into a LiveType
project. Scanned images, photos, and illustrations, as well as movies and animations,
can be used as part of your titling composition. And, like objects and textures, they can
be modified and placed in numerous ways.

LiveType can import elements in a variety of formats.

To import a graphic, image, or movie:

1

Choose File > Place.

2

Locate the file, then click Open.

The element appears in the Canvas, and a corresponding track appears in the Timeline.
