You can use Add Page or edit other title pages in the Canvas even when a LiveText page is
displayed on the networked live broadcast system. The Live Output is normally only updated
when you click Live again. There is another way to select the Live Output page, though:

Double-clicking a thumbnail image in the Pages panel sends it immediately to Live Output.
(When you do this, the designated page is added to both the Canvas and the Live Output
preview.)

Hint: The thumbnail icon for the Live Output page is outlined in red, and the thumbnail for the
page you are editing is outlined in white.

If the current page is animated – i.e., a
(vertical) Scroll or (horizontal) Crawl - the
transport controls beneath the preview
pane are activated.

Click the right-most (>) button to
commence Play, the center button (||) to
Pause (or resume play when already
paused), and the first button (|<) to go to
the beginning of the animated page.

Hint: Conveniently, LiveText automatically
begins scroll and crawl animation on a
blank frame.

The number of the current Live Output page is shown in a field to the right of the Play button.
You can use the nearby arrow buttons to move backward and forward through the list of pages,
or jump to a specific page by entering its number and pressing the Enter key.

Note: The forward/backward buttons and direct numeric entry controls are disabled if an
animated page is either playing or paused.
