Previewing in a Web browser

The Preview In commands let you preview the composition in a Web browser. Previewing your work in a Web browser is the best way to see how your composition actually appears in that browser. In addition, when you preview in a Web browser, LiveMotion provides an export report that gives additional details about your composition, enabling you to see how the composition is exporting, how large each object in an animation is at each frame, and so on. (See Understanding the export report.)

When you install LiveMotion, it automatically adds aliases to your current browsers so you can preview in them. However, you can add additional browsers as well.

To add a Web browser to the Preview In menu:

1. Create a shortcut or an alias for the Web browser.
2. Drag the icon for the shortcut or alias into the Helpers/Preview In folder within the LiveMotion program folder.
3. Restart LiveMotion.

To preview a composition in a Web browser:

Choose File > Preview In and choose a Web browser from the list. LiveMotion launches the application and displays the composition in the browser window.
