38 Tutorial 1 The Motion Interface
Objects imported this way are placed at the playhead position. The playhead indicates
which frame is currently displayed in the Canvas. The playhead is visible in both the
mini-Timeline and in the Timeline.
If the playhead was not at the beginning of the project when you imported the file,
your Timeline may look like this:
The logo is not visible in the project until the object appears. You can remedy this
easily.
4 In the Timeline, drag the NatGeoLogo.psd object to the left until it lines up with the
beginning of the project.
Note: You can also drag the logo object in the mini-Timeline to begin at frame 1.
Alternately, you could have prevented this from happening by ensuring you were at
the first frame of the project (press Home) before importing the clip. This moves the
playhead to the first frame of the project.
You can also change a setting in the Motion Project Preferences so that all new objects
are created (and imported) at the start of a project.
5 Choose Motion > Preferences.
6 Click Project.
