track In LiveType, a track is what contains an element and its attributes. In the Canvas,
a track appears as a dark blue line, usually at the base of the text, object, or image it
contains. A track can be shaped to form a motion path for the track’s contents to move
along. In the Timeline, a track is represented by a numbered bar, often with applied
effects underlying it.
widescreen Widescreen format is a way of shooting and projecting a movie in
theaters. The original footage doesn’t get cut off because of the 4:3 aspect ratio. With
the advent of high definition video, widescreen 16:9 video is coming into more popular
use.
wireframe The most elementary preview mode in LiveType, representing characters
and objects as bounding boxes. Wireframe previews are useful because they render
very quickly, showing the motion of elements.
x Used to refer to the x coordinate in Cartesian geometry. The x coordinate describes
horizontal placement.
y Used to refer to the y coordinate in Cartesian geometry. The y coordinate describes
vertical placement in motion effects.
