Tutorial 4 Working With Particles 163
The selected starting project opens and appears within the Motion interface.
Adding a Particle Preset
Open the Project pane (press F5), then take a moment to look at the Layers tab to see
how the project is organized. There are three layers: titles, particles, and background.
Remember that the more complex your projects become, the more important it is to
keep them organized. Also, remember that the order in which the layers appear from
top to bottom in the Layers tab reflects the order of layering in the project—the layer
listed at the top is the topmost layer, and so on.
Add the particle emitter to the currently empty particles layer.
To add a particle preset to the project:
1 In the Layers tab, select the particles layer.
2 In the Library (press Command+2), select the Particle Emitters category.
3 Select the SciFi subcategory.
