The project in the following image contains a particle system. The animated particles,
although not visible when they move off the Canvas, make the group containing them
large.
Boundary is limited to
height and width set in
Group inspector

Group with Fixed Resolution disabled Group with Fixed Resolution enabled
You can crop the size of a group that contains growing objects using the Fixed Resolution
checkbox in the Group pane of the Inspector.
If a project contains animated objects that move or expand beyond the edges of the
Canvas and you don’t activate the Fixed Resolution checkbox, your computer processing
time can increase.
Note: The Group pane of the Inspector (which contains the Fixed Resolution parameter)
is only accessible when a group is selected in the project.
When the Fixed Resolution checkbox is selected, objects in the group but outside the
Canvas are cropped to the size of the group defined in the parameter.
