110 Chapter 8 Previewing and Fully Rendering Your Titling Movie
RAM Preview in the Canvas
The transport controls at the bottom of the Canvas allow you to play a preview of
your titling movie right in your working environment. A RAM preview displays all
elements that are visible and enabled in the Canvas, as well as the Canvas guides,
rulers, and so on. Thus, it differs from a preview movie, which reflects the final movie
output more closely.
To play a RAM preview, do one of the following:
m Click the Play button in the transport controls at the bottom of the Canvas.
m Press the Space bar.
At first, the frames are rendered and loaded into memory one by one; then the preview
plays in real time. The Pause button is displayed during this process.
The right-most transport control, the Loop button, is a toggle that sets the RAM
preview to either play once through or continually loop through the movie. When the
Loop button is activated, or blue, the RAM preview loops until you click anywhere in
the LiveType interface.
To stop a looping RAM preview:
m Click anywhere in the LiveType interface.
To pause a RAM preview:
m Click the Pause button at any time during a RAM preview.
The Play button appears and the RAM preview stops. The RAM preview resumes when
you click the Play button once more.
