Chapter 1 Getting to Know Motion 49
Show Full View Area: When enabled, this setting lets you see the portion of a layer
that extends beyond the edge of the Canvas. This setting is disabled by default, as it
slows your project’s interactivity.
Render Quality: Sets the display mode for objects in the Canvas, such as text and
images, to Draft, Normal, or Best.
 Draft: Renders objects in the Canvas at a lower quality to allow optimal project
interactivity.
 Normal: The default setting, renders objects in the Canvas at a medium quality.
 Best: Renders objects in the Canvas at Best quality. This option slows down project
interactivity.
Note: 10-bit YUV files render at 8-bit in the Canvas unless Render Quality is set to
Best.
∏ Tip: When exporting a project using the “Movie - current project and canvas settings”
option (from the Use pop-up menu in the Export dialog), set Render Quality to Best
prior to exporting.
Lighting: Turns the effect of lights in a project on or off. It does not turn off lights in
the Layers list or light scene icons, but it disables light effects in the Canvas.
When this setting is turned on and you are using a default export preset (such as DV
NTSC Movie), your project is exported with lighting. This is because export presets are
exported with the “Use current project and canvas settings” option turned on by
default (in the Output tab of the Export Options dialog). When this checkbox is turned
on, whatever is enabled in the View pop-up menu is also exported.
To override the current project settings for lighting on export:
1 Choose File > Export.
2 Optional: Select a name and location for the saved file.
3 In the Export dialog, click the Options button next to the Export pop-up menu.
