Apple LiveType 2 - Manual (Page 35)

Chapter 2 Setting Up a Project 35
Settings in the Project Properties Dialog
There are various pop-up menus, colors, and settings you can select when specifying
the properties for your project.
Presets
Presets establish the width, height, frame rate, and pixel aspect defined by the
selected standard.
 Presets: This pop-up menu lists the most common output formats. After you select a
different preset, you’ll notice how the settings change. You can also see how
selecting different presets affects the shape and size of the Canvas.
If none of the presets conform to your project, you can configure the dimensions and
frame rate manually. “Custom” will then automatically appear in the Presets field.
Note: Web banner and multimedia options are included among the presets, since
LiveType is effective for building animations for the web or for Keynote, for example,
which imports QuickTime movies directly. Keep in mind that web banners are
typically created in GIF format. To create a GIF, you need to use another program to
translate your LiveType output.
 Width: This is the width, in pixels and inches.
 Height: This is the height, in pixels and inches.
 Frame Rate: This is the frame rate, in frames per second.
Preset properties automatically
set the project resolution, frame
rate, and so on, for the most
common output formats.
