Tutorial 1

The Motion Interface

A drop menu containing import options appears.

3

Drop the file on the Import All Layers pane.

A new layer is created inside the layer where you dropped the file, and inside that layer
the individual Photoshop layers are arranged just as they were in the Photoshop
application.

Note: You can also drag the file to the Canvas and pause over the Canvas to show the
same drop menu. Dragging to the Canvas allows you to select a position to drop the
file (importing to the Layers tab, Timeline, or by using the Import button automatically
places the imported object in the center of the Canvas).

Note: The result of this import operation is the same as if you were to select multiple
objects in a layer, then group the objects.

You can manipulate each individual object of the new GreenSquares layer, or you can
manipulate the layer itself, affecting all the objects simultaneously.
