SVG export embeds the media as an image — clipped by the liquid contour when inside, under or over the shapes otherwise. The feather, effects and patterns stay raster-only; a blend is written as CSS mix-blend-mode, which some editors ignore.

SVG export lays the clean part over the liquid shapes as an image, faded by the same map; where the media is transparent the shapes show through.

For a subject — a logo, a cut-out, a keyed shot: on full-frame media the outline is just the frame, and the grid serves better. 0 holds the exact outline; up to 100 the Liquid Form sliders take it over. On video it re-traces every frame, which costs more than the grid.
