When you render a font from the Juicer what is the option to select that will allow you to change the text verbage once you open it up in Photoshop? Once I have a font, I might want to use the same font but have it say something else. The text layer seems to be missing when I open it up in Photoshop.

Remember DJ Fonts are not like System Fonts. They can only be altered in the Juicer (actually, they can be used as "regular" fonts if you use Live Convert and use them through Apple's LiveType. This is a common misconception of what DJ Fonts are--not fonts in the normal sense.

Once you render the font from the juicer, you can not alter it so in a sense it becomes a graphic / video file.

Unless rendered with layers to photoshop, in which case you can turn on/off layers, adjust blending modes, add layers, etc. However, the key point is just as Alan pointed out -- you can not change the text itself outside of the juicer. You can however render each letter, symbol in the alphabet for a particular font and then, using them as individual elements, make whatever words you want. I'd use the juicer.
