Adding More Movie Elements

Next, you add more movie footage in a new layer. You apply a Throw behavior to the
layer so both objects are moved together.

To add the additional movie objects:

1

Press Home to move the playhead to frame 1.

2

In the File Browser, navigate to the Tutorial Media folder (default is /Users/Shared/
Motion/Tutorial Media)
, then double-click the National Geographic folder to view its
contents.

3

Command-click the lioness1.mov and the lioness2.mov files so they are both selected.

4

Drag the two clips into the empty area of the Layers tab.

A new layer is created above the existing layers and the two files are added to the layer.

The movie clips appear directly on top of one another centered in the Canvas. With
clips of the same size, it appears as if there is only one clip.
