Importing the Project Files

In this section, you use different methods to import the media and graphics files
required for the project: the File Browser and the File menu. You can import files for
immediate use, or import files directly to the Media tab for later use.

Note: Files imported into Motion, as well as files created within Motion, are referred to
as “objects.”

To use the File Browser to import the dolphin clip:

1

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.

2

In the file stack, select dolphins.mov.

Note: To view the items in the stack as thumbnails, make sure icon view is selected in
the File Browser.

Click to show items in
stack in icon view.
