HI, I'm new to this and am having trouble getting clear Pics and shows on my message board. My sign installer is no help. He tells me my sign is 128 X 96 resolution. nothing I download looks clear. Anyone have experience with LED sign boards? Thanks
The information on that page is no longer valid. Here's how you can simulate a LED screen in the latest version:
1) choose FILE > SET SHOW RESOLUTION and enter 128 x 96 for the width and height
2) make the render window as big as you want by clicking and dragging its border in the lower right corner
3) select the camera layer
4) choose MEDIA> CHANGE EFFECT...
5) select the Effects\Filters\Circles effect and click OK
6) set the FX TILES property to 128
Now everything is rendered with 128 x 96 circles, that can be seen as LEDs.
128 x 96 is a low resolution that makes small details difficult to see or completely disappear. So you will have to adjust your design for this: use HUGE texts and pictures.

Oh, and don't forget to remove the effect from the camera layer before exporting as a video file. The purpose of the effect is only to simulate a LED screen during editing.
