When rendering LT from the Juicer, is there a need to adjust any of the presets? I switch to .avi format and select my save loation, but do I need to make the bounding box fit the canvas size? Do I need to adjust any of the other settings to use in Liquid? I assume that I can adjust the size of the lower third and other elements such as revealers within Liquid??

You will only see what is in the canvas. You can enlarge or reduce the lower thirds, mde's, etc.. Just remember, only what is inside the canvas will display. You are on the right track.

Post back if you have more questions.

So, if I understand that correctly, I should be able to leave it "as is" and then change the size of the element within Liquid?

No. Put the visiable part inside the canvas. Change to either NTSC or PAL first. THen adjust things you want to see so they fit inside the canvas.

Okay. I see....so, MDE's that have a preset canvas size of 1920 x 1080 should be changed in the Juicer to 720 x 480 and then the element itself scaled down to show only within the canvas?

You got it. For some creative work you could slide the bounding box around on the canvas to show part of an mde. An example would be to move it to a corner of the canvas and show 1/4 or a pie slice of the mde.

Now you understand what is possible.

Good Luck.
